I ABSOLUTELY LOVED MY JOB WORKING AT LILLY. IT WAS A GREAT PLACE TO WORK AND THE BENEFITS WERE WONDERFUL. IT WAS VERY FLEXIBLE DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU WORKED. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO WORK FLEX TIME WHEN NEEDED AND THAT WAS GREAT FOR ME. I HAD TO DRIVE 2 HOURS TO WORK AND MY MANAGER WAS VERY UNDERSTANDING OF MY SITUATION. I WAS ALLOWED TO COME IN – more... LATE WHEN THE WEATHER WAS BAD, BECAUSE I STARTED MY DAY AT 5:00 IN THE MORNING SO I WAS USUALLY UP AT 2:00 AM AND LEFT FOR WORK AT 3:00 AM. – less

Eli Lilly's biggest asset is its people and culture. The atmosphere is one that promotes innovative thinking and appreciates strong leaders.

great people, great job, value the job greatly, fun environment

Very reliable and independ person, I learned the SAP system and was the top keyer with this job. I management was will train individual and very helpful to their employee, my coworker was all team player and good people to work with. There wasn't no hard part to this job at all. The most enjoyable part of this job was getting my job done on a daily – more... basis with the best of my knowledge. – less

Working with a global workforce has rewards and challenges.

This company puts people first! I highly recommend this company as it has some of the best training, develops great leaders and cares about its employees.

Slow sample rate makes the job easy. High degree of cGMP knowledge in this company. Management was nice but not always experienced. Coworkers were fantastic. The job did drag on due to slow sample rates. People were great and knowledge of staff was quite extesive

I have been very lucky to have some of the same physicians and their staff for the past seven years even though my products, team members and managers have changed I have had the ability to not let any of that effect the relationships that I have built with my physicians. I have really learned in this job to listen and ask what my physician wants and – more... needs and use that information to best answer their needs and wants.
I have worked on different teams and worked for many different managers in my seven years at Lilly. I believe that this has made me a more well rounded sales representative, that can adapt to different scenarios and situations. – less

Lilly is a great company to work for. I look forward to their growing pipeline and what's to come.

A sales rep at Eli Lilly is expected to work from 8-5 P.M. Monday thru Friday. Usually there is about 1-2 hours of work when you get home at night depending on e-mail volume and the products that you promote. The ongoing training that Lilly offers its employees is exceptional and ever changing. Like most companies, upward mobility has become very difficult – more... because Branded drug patent expirations and lack of bringing new innovative medications to the marketplace. Sales forces have limited movement as well as management on a yearly basis. Overall, I think Lilly has excellent management and my co-workers in the 12 years with Lilly have been really honest and good people. The most difficult part of the job is getting face time with your customers on a daily basis. Interactions are often very short and more and more hospital system and offices have completely closed their doors to reps making it very hard to influence or change customers habits when it comes to how they choose which medication they feel is best for their patients. The most enjoyable part of the job is working with teammates that have very similar goals and challenges as you on a daily basis and finding ways to get the job done no matter what or how difficult the challenge may be. – less

I called on specialty practices . Urology and Endocrinology . I had no counterparts and worked alone. Covered the entire state of Mississippi and parts of Louisiana in a 2 week route. Worked with both specialties in giving them product insight and knowledge and growing my market share. I launched a testosterone product where I was #2 of 120 in the nation – more... with the product launch. And took a territory ranked #111 of 120 and finished 10 of 120 in just 6 months. – less

Started out at Lilly because I believed in the culture that was presented. I quickly found that it is a false front. Yes, they believe in putting the provider and patient ahead of stock price. But, management is a revolving door. Reps are moved from territory to territory, re-alignments, stay home for your phone call to see if you still have a position, – more... is WAY TOO OFTEN, and management tells you that your job is safe, while they figure out how to get rid of you. The managers all THINK that they are doing a great job. They call themselves "coaches" but are anything but. They wont hesitate to throw you under the bus! I LIE LILLY – less

A good experience of science in a pharmaceutical compagny. I increased my knowledge in neurodegenerative deseases and a global drug hunting understanding.

A typical day consisted of what I chose to accomplish. I enjoyed managing my own time. The Supervisor was very friendly and helpful when I had questions. Management was very distant,and seemed to be removed from any kind of relationship with me, but professional. Didn't expect to be isolated from them. Co-Workers were very funny, and bright. THe hardest – more... part of the job was learning about things I knew nothing about, and having to leave because my contract is ending. The most enjoyable part of the job is the self management with work and time, and the fact that the work load was not more than I could bear. – less
