This is the worst company I've ever worked for. Ethics? Management? WOW

Horizon has a great training department- and everything they present is ditched by sales management in the field. Quality calls? Hell no. We want 14 per day plus pharmacies. Do the right thing? Nope. Push samples wanted or not. Sell outside indication whenever possible. Gather signatures at all costs. Metrics are king.

So, so sad. There are many talented reps here being beaten into being the mercenary, signature oriented reps physicians hate. PIPs are coming out soon. Can't wait to see the demoralization of those remaining after the next firings. Oh! And the reputation among providers when a company constantly turns reps over instead of actually analyzing sales trends and allowing for time and traction to take hold.

ANYONE looking to come here: RUN

Wow, so nothing has changed a year after launch? So glad I am gone from this place and working a real sales job earning real bonus $38-$45K. not the petty money Horizon was paying or having to deal with busy metric work.

No one is "whining" here. Horizon talks a good story and appears to be a professional organization, but is really a bunch of used car-salesmen level hacks who place no value on clinical knowledge, customer relationships or reputation. Very, very sad.
 


Dawgonne it! I had 2 reps in the last year bring me the glorious generic combination and today I find out that reps a byebye bingo too. What's the deal with this third rate operation? I ain't gonna give patients your drug if you don't give me a rep who can stick around
 








Things may be bad for you personally, but if you don't apply yourself and try to take care of your job and company, your situation/life can get a lot worst. By applying yourself and doing the best that you can, you will help yourself as well as the people around you. If you live by this rule, you will be better off for it. Think through the alternative. Also, what good is it if you go through life in a bad mood or attitude? You would only hurt yourself.

I disagree! I was not a good fit for this company, and I am happy for it. I was asked to break the FDA guidelines (LAW), and driven into the ground trying to make this drug successful. It was not successful and it is not successful. The Managers and Executives belong in prison.

You're an idiot! ...take care of your company? You must have been a business major dropout gone to a basket weave major! HR is a company's most valuable resource as recognized by successful businesses. Horizon is excluded from the club of successful businesses because of it's garbage treatment of employees and less than stellar business decisions! Life only gets worse for a Horizon sales rep if they stay and try to promote these loser drugs! Life gets worse because a person loses all validity trying to shove the idea of two generic products into one tablet for 10 X the cost! That is when life gets worse, when you sell yourself SHORT by trying to market bottom bucket trash. The alternative is find another job: a fine alternative that is! Think it through? Yes, do think it through and start looking for another job before you lose your self respect selling $hit for a buck 56!.

LOL! This IS my blog :) IDIOT! Whasssamatter, hit a truth nerve? Hmmm, management doesn't like it when a little worker bee is has the bigger business IQ and sees through the BS. You are the one who is sinking this titanic and YOU are the one to go down with this ship! So really, WHO needs to think it through? This is a fine example of the Peters Principal, you have risen to your level of incompetence and soon you are going to tumble. I would be sweating bullets too if I, like you, were dumb as a sack of rocks. Bashing the sales force and going for their throats is the first sign of a bad company failing. Love to watch you squirm. Keep it up! Your failure and your suffering is very entertaining.
 


I think Horizon came up with a pretty good drug in RAYOS. Being a low-dose, timed-release prednisone tablet that was released for several big-market indications including RA and COPD is an opportunity for the Sales Rep to shine and make some big bucks. RAYOS will have advantages over the competition which the Docs can appreciate. If the Sales Rep is able to bring these advantages to the Doc's attention he will be doing the Doc as well as the patient a big favor. I see success all around, for the Patient, the Doc and the Sales Rep. Making the sales calls with a good attitude can only help. The initial launches of most drugs are slow to get going. It takes a little time for the Docs to get used to the drugs they are prescribing and develop confidence. I think RAYOS may fit this scenario where it picks up quickly after the Docs see a few successes with their initial prescriptions. It would be a shame if the Sales Rep starting with low moral gets discouraged too early during the launch and by walking away allows the next Sales Rep to pick up the rewards. It pays to be a little stubborn at times and look at what good could happen. I have had success at times as a result of following the sage advice of a well known and successful football coach who said: "Never mind that the horse is blind, just keep loading the wagon".

I guess two things:

Do you have a study that compares Prednisone to Rayos, if both drugs are taken at night. Simply put can we look and compare the efficacy of these two products, before we and jump through hoops to have our patients take a very expensive drug over a cheap generic....the answer to this question is no.

Second if we compare half lifes - Prednisone is 4 hours, but it is metabolized into Prednisolone (this is the therapeutic portion of the drug), which has a half 36 hours....so please explain how Rayos fits into the treatment of RA and OA? It doesn't.

You have to look at the science and ask why...
