READ THIS BEFORE YOU WORK HERE

Worst ever, just look at Amarin!

 

So some contracts do not come with a company car?

 

Quintiles is an extremely lucrative company. Interestingly, contract sales makes up a relatively small percentage of overall revenue. The real money is in clinical research. Quintiles is the largest CRO in the world. If you are fed up w Pharma sales, put your name in for a business development position. Much higher base salary w potential for big commissions.

 

Yeah, I work for Amarin. I took the job because everyone seems to question why I worked in contract sales. OK, now I am a "direct hire". Lucky me. I make a lower base, no car, virtually no bonus, no matching 401k. IMHO contract was certainly better than the train wreck I am part of.

 

The READ THIS BEFORE YOU WORK HERE is right on!

Always be looking because when they hire another Q rep and overfill the territory the Pharma company is using Q reps as pawns-- period!

A few contracts that always ended early only take if you have no other options and always be looking for another job

 

Thank you.

True all, but it depends on the contract which can be a crapshoot unless you're not desperate and can be selective. My contract MC sucked (stay away from startups!) but I didn't have a lot of experience. At another franchise, I knew at least 4 Q reps that filled in for reps on leave. When those reps didn't return, the Qs went perm under great managers. Good reps will get the better gigs.

 

Good reps don't get rewarded anymore in this industry, dummy.
