I wish I had spoke to some of the existing Aptalis reps prior to accepting a position here. Now I feel stuck and cannot believe I left my former company for this. It all sounded very promising....small privately held company, specialty designed products, no micromanaging, family-like environment. Nothing I was told is the case. There is distrust amongst every department in the company towards the representatives. Enough has been said about the lack of innovation of these drugs at embarrassingly outlandish prices, but I was told in the interview there were 3! My manager should get the award for micro-manager of the year. Her field days are actually counter productive to my business. I assumed it would be like my former specialty experience, DM would come in and business plan, attend lunches, appts., but would not stand in crowded hallways in 30 second encounters where their presence is awkward and rude. The low pay vs. other specialty roles was a little concerning, but I assumed it was due to the small company size so I accepted the trade off. I have met some really great reps, but all have told me in confidence, as soon as I find a better opportunity I'm leaving. The company culture here is terrible....yes, it is.
