Astellas Women’s Health is rapidly becoming a dumpster fire. Horrible leadership and no support. This is a toxic situation, so let’s measure how bad it is.

It IS a dumpster fire. It’s been bad since the awful launch.
Toxic or not, don't get too comfy. Life support plug will be pulled.
As one who was let go in November, I can attest, yep we were indeed the lucky ones 
The grass isn’t always greener. Ha! When the baseline is dead grass, I think there is a good chance th either side of the fence is better
Pardon my grammar in my previous post. I’m sneaking this message on my phone during my new companies launch meeting
The nail in the coffin was taking the half day fridays. How petty can you be? After cutting 1.5% of our end of year money, cutting 30% of the sales force, doubling or tripling the territory size, and boxed warning, was it really necessary? How much revenue was gained from a couple more hours in the field on Friday?
OMG! Reps work less than 20 hours per week and you are complaining about Friday afternoon! Ridiculous!
You are clueless about being in the field .
It’s at least 8 hrs per day between driving and waiting on customers then there’s all the admin stuff

"a couple more hours"? Really? Have you seen the consultants' data claiming to verify how few hours per day reps (on average) actually work in the field?
Applied for Women’s Health position in Albany, NY and have phone screen interview scheduled. How is the manager? Micromanager? why is territory open? What are most reps total comp including salary and bonus? Would really appreciate a few honest answers between the jackass responses I’m sure I’ll get as well. Thank You
Don’t know about NY but a lot of people are leaving, have left and or lost faith in leadership. This use to be a great company but the micromanagement, lack of managed care wins, abandoned and rejected scripts, new HORRIBLE leadership….. take the job if you need it but keep looking for real opportunities. The pay sucks! They just took part of 401K away and the goals are increased every 3 months. You can be a Summit one year and bottom rep the next. Moral at all time low. Good Luck
your biggest concern would be that you would be going to a division that is a one trick pony. That pony has a broken leg, and now a new horse is entering the race soon. A horse, not a pony. The viability of the division is questionable
