Field Reimbursement Manager Postings

Quote



Currently, there are open roles due to a variety of things, none of which are due to expansion or organizational success.

Most of the negative posts here are from people who got burned going to Oncology - ill-equipped leadership in place and people have started to revolt. Immunology has more established (people that actually were in the field, get the business and were successful) leadership and seems to be fairing well while managing some growing pains. There’s also a smaller team in PH that’s been around for a while but I’ve never heard much about them, which might mean it’s the best place to land considering most will share the negative.

Hope this helps

Another perspective here, I’m in immunology and it is horrific on my team. Horrible leader.

Crappy bonuses that you have to wait a whole year to get. Now there will be a whole lot more people jumping ship for companies that do real reimbursement instead of account management. JnJ likes to treat these positions as a sales position or some hybrid extension of one. Many of us came from great companies that gave quarterly bonuses or more than 15% of your base pay (that’s prorated) If you divide it by the quarter it’s not that much and more is taken out for taxes because you get it in one lump some. Many people will start looking now that annual bonuses have been paid out.

I believe more people will jump ship after they’ve been with JNJ a year. I heard some got a sign on bonus and if they leave before a year, they have to pay it back. Pension isn’t holding anyone around because it takes 5 years to vest.

Lousy pay increases, lousy bonus, overall a non reimbursement role under guise of market access and reimbursement. Lackluster management whose overall ambition is to make you role play into the J&J family way. Company is lame and they bait you with “pensions” and LTIs. Which, by the way, is not guaranteed, the LTIs are a fake promise to come get you to work for them. Of course good people will leave- you can make more money with a real reimbursement role practically anywhere but contract.

Yes, give it another 3 months and people will start to look. This isn’t an Access/Reimbursement position. I’ve never worked for a company that prorates merit increases. Annual bonuses should be changed to quarterly bonuses. Since they treat us like sales people and micromanage us like sales people they should pay us quarterly bonuses like sales people.

Very curious to know why this is not an access/reimbursement position? Another poster also mentioned it's a non reimbursement role?

The metrics are unrealistic, for example an FRM is measured on fulfillment rate(with incorrect data) they do not take into consideration that FRMs are there to get patients access to treatment. You can spend hours working with an office and their patient has to go on patient assistance that is not factored in your metrics. Leadership asks you to get sales data on accounts, support off label use, record calls on accounts that are non viable to fake metrics.

This is very true! Also, other KPIs like 5 calls/day for Local and 4 calls/day for Network FRMs. No way can this be accomplished in Oncology!

Why have these positions been posted for months and haven’t been filled?

They haven't been filled because J&J's horrible reputation is getting around. People are speaking up finally. But the other piece is that HH is driving away good candidates by treating them in an unwelcoming "you're the help" kind of way.
