AbbVie

It’s been 6 months since I joined Abbvie and I received a joining bonus of 10k (~8k after tax deductions). Now I plan to switch to other firm and I need to return joining bonus. So will I be liable to pay the actual amount 10k or the amount after tax deductions ~8k to AbbVie ?

    Thinking of pharma? Find a new industry.

    Mar 9, 2022 - Clinical Sales Representative in New York, NY

    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Freedom to do whatever you want during the day.

    Cons

    Unfortunately, once Allergan merged with AbbVie, everything changed. Reps are drastically underpaid compared to the industry average. On top of that, the goals are so exceptionally high most of the time the nat'l average for products is significantly below 100%. They took away winter break and unlimited PTO. Tenured reps that are used to great benefits were stripped of them and given a measly 15 days PTO. The industry, in GENERAL, has changed so much. Offices do not want you inside, they expect reps to come with food, if you don't come with food, you get treated like dirt, and if you do come with food, they still find a way to treat you like dirt. Sample drops and food drops with no time to effectively sell. Not to mention, all the administrative work now required is insane.

    Global Operations Needs Major Overhaul

    Sep 2, 2015 - Machine Operator in Abbott Park, IL

    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    AbbVie has great benefits as far as health care and options it provides with perks as well as wanting to see others advance.

    Cons

    The Organization you're in as well as Department makes a difference. Working in the Operations at Headquarters location means no Work-Life Balance. There are One to Two major Shutdowns a year that last a week or two and Management makes you use YOUR ENTITLED Vacation time to cover for THEIR Shutdown. Sometimes you have the option to Voluntarily work through it but that is not always the case. Your opinion and feelings mean nothing to them at the end of the day. What is taken "into consideration" is them tuning you out and "doing what is best for the Floor." Mind you, none of them have ever physically worked the Operations floor, nor do they work the physical hours.
