Striker Account Representative

26 jobs posted...what's the deal with these open territories?

 

Nobody wants to work here!!

 

Everyone quit. Salary is low. Commission is non-existent. Forecasts are impossible to hit. Horrible products in pipeline.

 

Good luck trying to sell branded drugs with no managed care coverage against generic competition. Sounds fun, right? There's nothing novel coming out of DSI's pipeline.

 

Morale sucks! Leadership is a joke. Pipeline in non-existent and goals are unrealistic.

 

Sounds great. When can I interview?

 

anytime you want. There are probably at least 3 open positions in your town.

 

Im not sure how to break this news...But what is being described here is unfortunately 95% of our industry now. I have peers at so many "good" companies that are all fed up and looking to jump ship. The problem is...we are all now playing musical chairs...so leave if you must...but you will most likely be singing the same song before your one year anniversary at the new gig. sad but true.

 

Yep. I work at another pharma company. One of the top ten in the US. And it's the exact same thing here. It's the reason I'm here checking out the Sankyo position open in my territory

 

There have been four layoffs in three years. The goals are not realistic. Coverage is poor but improving. Mangers I've had are good. The pipeline is weak. The pay is competitive. Pay for top performers is really strong. Gold Cup trip is incredible. Many of the territories are an entire state with targets YOU HAVE TO CALL ON hours away. 6,000 plus miles per month. Many people choosing to look elsewhere but will probably only find it marginally better at other companies. I've done this for lots of years and it's pretty rough sailing at DSI right now.

 

Salary? Bonus? Are most reps hitting their goals?

 

I've been a sales rep in the construction industry for several years. I stumbled across this thread after seeing an opening for a striker rep in my area. Pretty much exactly what I hear from my drug rep friends. Guess it's true.

 

Former Rep here. The grass most certainly IS greener! It’s nice to finally worknfor someone who knows what they are doing and actually has the qualifications to match their job description... I hadn’t felt that way at DSI for almost 3 years. All the good management that knows what they are doing left (or were laid off) years ago...

 

Knowing a post is a complete lie....”former rep here” or “I work in IT” or “former leadership knew what they were doing”. They did nothing while all our products went generic, many were fired for stealing from the company, they left us with a CIA, class action law suit and no future. If that’s your definition of good you’re delusional. Plus no one hires reps from DSI so you’re still here

 

all that good management is still looking for work and no one in our industry thinks of DSI as a company to source talent if any kind from, can’t develop any new drugs ever and you can’t sell what you have. like most shitty reps you use the same excuse leadership doesn’t know what they’re doing. News flash it’s you that doesn’t and you use to work here and come back to what visit? What a sad life you have. Gramps is calling you time to wash his back and cut his taint hair

 

dsi will be elimanitngn all US sales positions by end of the year

 

The deal is the recruiters are so bad. They don't return calls. They lead you on and when you do get a call from an inside person. Same thing. Unprofessional.

 

You mean RL kept unprofessional whores and asshats in charge??? No???? The hire the heels and shorter the skirt the higher you climbed. And th Carter up you shoved your male nose up his ass the higher you went. Look who’s left. All ass kissers and half wits

 

Does that include oncology as well?
