Looks like the last posts on this board where from 2019. Just curious if anything has changed at Acrotech for better or for worse? I’m specially asking about the sales force, sales leadership, compensation, benefits, success or lack there of with the products. Please be specific. More than just “this company sucks a dick” or “things are great” Thanks.
Ok you got it. We have no Zevalin until next year and we are not communicating to all our customers. We have poor leadership and our main main man never communicates. And the truth is none of us are working we just make up calls. Most of us are shopping for jobs at every level. So does that answer your question. And yes compared to real companies our benefits are subpar. However, this place is great while you are shopping for the right opportunity. Does that answe your questio?
You should wait to join until there is an actual pipeline and/or new products to sell. The legacy products, through no fault of Acrotech, are not great and are on life support. If you need a job, then it's not an awful place to be, but there's nothing in the immediate future to make Acrotech an enticing place to work. Benefits are decent but there's no Christmas or mid-year shutdown, and you should expect to sell right up to Christmas and right afterwards unless you have some vacation to burn. For salary, keep in mind that Acrotech acquired the Spectrum staff at their sub-optimal salaries and generally salaries are still lower than industry, but this can vary by person and position. But most of the Spectrum staff are gone, with maybe less than 15 left across the entire company. Forgetting management for a second, there are lot of great people to work with and from that perspective it's great. Your regional directors are great and I don't think you'll regret working for them. Yea, that's a shout out to the homies in OC and Virginia. But management is linked in with Aurobindo corporate and they have a certain perspective that doesn't align with brand Pharma. This makes things tough and you continually have to fight for what you need. And your performance will be analyzed to the nth degree even if not warranted. This will become frustrating for some and especially those in territories that are not bringing in the dollars even if you're giving 100%. Back to the top, if you don't need a job, keep looking. If you need something now, go ahead and sign up.
I don't know who you work for but Acrotech does have a Christmas shutdown between Christmas and New Years. But if you are planning to work more power to you!
That's true. The Commercial team gets the time between Christmas and New Years, but no one else in the company gets that. That's another issue that Management has created where there is now a Have and Have Not group. This applies to some other incentives as well that are not spread throughout the company. Just another of many cultural blunders. It's things like this that eventually make people leave, and the company can easily avoid these issues. But I don't blame Acrotech management, these are corporate decisions from Aurobindo.
I don’t know about you, but if this company sucks a dick, I’d really like an interview. Who wouldn’t want their dick sucked?
I ha e a really great sales director and I like the market of rare heme/onc. The parent company poses a problem and are cheap.
