Phone Screen for Novartis/MS Drug

What I was told: One year contract, hiring completed by end of November, 2019. Training begins January/February, 2020.
Car allowance, mileage, base plus bonus. If I get an initial interview, will be in the next week.

Unlike Ashfield, you don’t have Two Managers to report to. That was very hard and some of the Ashfield managers are nuts, like really strange.

 

Think about this before you jump into a NVS gig. Training is LONG.. books and test for 3 weeks then 10 days away and they treat you like you are new to the Industry w/ Oral Boards. It's BS, total BS. That's 3 months of of the year already. If you have a NVS manager they will treat you terribly. You think Ashfield was strange? You haven't seen anything of the likes of a NVS manager just ask anyone on the CV contract. You will hate everything about NVS by month 5 w/ 7 short months of wasted time when you could be looking for something more adult because there is nothing adult about NVS.

 

Amplity managers are sexual deviants. They are more than strange.

 

If your over 50, can’t look for another job because there is tremendous AGE discrimination. Until you have experienced it, you will not understand. That’s why so many older sales reps apply for these contract jobs.

 

Don’t judge

 

Its not the worst job but unfortunately contract will not last anywhere near a year!!

 

What is the drug?

 

Gilenya. Good drug, was left in closet for a couple years so docs using aubagio and tecfidera these days.

However, I’d look elsewhere. Mayzent is shitting the bed at novartis and rumor is they will give Gilenya back to their own reps in 2020. Read the novartis board and you’ll see what’s going on.

Good luck!

 

Contract dead in one to two months. Not a good idea. Also Amplity sucks.

 

Doesn’t seem like an early end of contract based on mgrs and director saying its for full year 2020. That would be a bold face lie and totally discredit Amplity.

 

So the newer drug, My z is not doing well? Can someone please elaborate so I know what I may or may not be getting myself into? Do these two drugs compete even though the indications are different?

 

its older reps who have impressive sales skills to allow them to be successful in this industry but lack the asskissing gene that would alllow them to move up the ranks of big pharma

 

Maybe they’re not deviants, maybe you’re just uptight and square. Try being more open to exploration, a world of pleasure awaits you

 

On paper it may be through 2020, but the nature of contract sales...the parent company can end it all in a heartbeat for a fee. There’s zero credibility with any contract organization. Zero. Parent company credibility questionable as well.

 

This is a very weak deal at best.

 

What’s the bet G contract done end of March?

 

I agree. everyone I know is already beginning to bail. Some people are starting to double dip now.

 

Good for them!!

 

I have heard some people plan to triple dip!!
