Wrong on that one 100%! First all I've read on here is how shitty the PC job is with jerky managers bad, companies and that the job and industry. Second in Onc we see on average 3 cancer centers a week and the rest of the time we are in our home office or out doing whatever we want. We don't have call metrics and call reporting which is a huge advantage for onc in qol. Very few ride a longs? Advantage Onc on qol there too. Very few Onc reps have overnight travel and if they do it is no more than 2-3 nights month. If you cover a major metro you probably have none. We have 120 territories and probably only 4 reps have any regular overnights. The other poster said Onc was more involved thy never said onc reps work a lot of hours or work "harder" for that matter. If u can get in it is the beat rep job out there qol wise! I've been in for 4 years now and I've never been happier. It is nothing like PC. No sample inventory, no call reporting, no role plays, very few ride along, and no call "average". My manager has been in onc for 10 years now and he was a dm before and came in as a rep and then got promoted back up 3 years ago and is a great mentor and is there for me when I need him, otherthan that Ameche two t-con's a month I never see or hear from him. Basically I have 3 lunches a week where I inservice the nurses and talk to the doc's about the drug and compendia listings and then I go home. The knowledge base is more involved but the work load is a lot less involved than PC so you are very misinformed on your QOL assumption.
