    If you want to do great things for the field.. we appreciate gift cards for movies, ice cream an extra day off BUT how about instead.........start by caring where we spend 90% of our day ... The CAR

    company car choices are below par here.
    Either offer an allowance or please step it up.
    Do you care about our quality of life day to day and safety? the cheapest models are offered here!
    Just look at what other companies offer.. Amgen.. Volvo, Upgraded Subaru’s
    Novo.. Traverse, Acadia
    JNJ.. Volvo, Terrain
    Biohaven.. Volvo
    Abbie... Pathfinder
    BI.. Volkswagen
    I could give you more and more examples!!
    And they aren’t stripped down models
    It’s a diragrace that I can’t even fit my marketing materials in my trunk because it’s so small and on the highway I pray I don’t get hit by a truck!!! Shameful!

    Good News! I believe all of those companies are actually hiring. Perhaps you should go there to seek out your automotive fortunes.

    Geez. Why do you have to be a jerk? I think the person is right. They aren’t saying they want to leave based on auto needs but if you truly want to make the field team feel rewarded how about taking a look at the company car package.

    So how bad were your regional CV meetings? One of the most pathetic displays of unprofessionalism I’ve seen in quite a while.

    I'll take the 7-10% 401k gift that everyone over 40 gets over an upgraded car. If you can't see the big picture and things that matter than you should go and try to work for one of those companies. Most pharma companies offer cars just like us and they also only match 4-6% on 401k. They certainly don't give RSU at raise time.

    Wrong. Do your research on other pharma/ Biotech companies and what they offer...

    It’s not 7-10% over 40. Try 5.25 for 35-44, I believe and the increasing. I know that Merck offers something similar.

    That being said, I think our vehicle options do suck in terms of comfort. For those of us with large territories, it can get quite painful. If you want a better car, do what many others have done. Get a doctor to fill out the form from HR saying you have back or neck or hip problems so you can get a better car.

    The company really should offer a reimbursement program, that way people get to choose and drive what they want. Of course then people would bitch that the reimbursement rates are inadequate. There’s always going to be a group of whiners no matter what

    35-44 5.25%
    45-54 7.25%
    55+ 10%

    Unheard of. Plus you get an automatic 2%. So it is over 7% if you are over 35 years old.

    If a car is so important to you good complain on a Facebook moms group or do what every other person does buy one.

    Be bold! Increase 401k contribution by 1.5% to automatic 3.5% and new company car choices.
