ENDO INTERNATIONAL PLC

Contracted as an Executive Assistant to the Chief Legal Officer and then hired permanently reporting to the Chief Medical Officer/SVP of Medical Affairs; I handled a multitude of responsibilities ranging from managing vendor services, expense reporting, budget management, contract and procurement management, internet research, and extensive calendar management. I also managed logistics such as: coordinating hotels, dinners, travel arrangements, meeting rooms, car services, and meals for executives and staff members. I coordinated activities as well as prepared all meeting materials for the annual shareholders’ meeting, quarterly earnings calls, and board of director’s meetings. 

Key results:
•	Anticipated the needs of the Senior Vice President by coordinating a 2-week last minute travel arrangement during an acquisition deal that played a key role in the due diligence effort that was crucial to a successful acquisition.
•	Co-authored the Administrative Center for Excellence (ACE) guidebook at Endo that was adopted as a training manual and best practice guide for all new and existing employees at the company. 
•	Revamped annual budgeting tracking process which improved monthly reconciliation of expenses and standardized the budget reporting procedures which was a huge time saver.
•	Introduced improvements that enhanced vendor relations by establishing common vendor files, organizing contracts and license information, and negotiating contract prices which resulted in annual savings of $220K.
•	Completed comprehensive analysis of market research information which resulted in the organization of data that eliminated duplication, out-of-date reports, and improved market intelligence review time by 20%.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The pay compared to most places is great. However it isn't worth the mental and physical stress

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The constant overtime. In the interview I was told there rarely worked overtime and if they did it was maybe 2 hours or half a day. However truth is on most overtime days you are there all day. The morale is very low and toxic.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
They claim it's like a family environment. It is not, unless you are close with certain higher ups or your supervisors its further from that. Constant gossip and people thinking they are better than others. Poor leadership starting at supervisors to some team leaders. It is like a high school back there and the supervisors know it but do nothing about it. In fact they actually are a big part of the problem.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get up early and you clock in. You have the morning meeting where they talk about certain things and the schedule and do stretches before sending you to work. Some people get to stick on the same lines while others get swapped around not giving you any consistency. Trying to plan appointments or your weekends is hard when all overtime is mandatory even if you werent apart of the line with overtime to begin with. Lots of cleaning in and out of the rooms but you always feel rushed since supervisors, team leaders, trainers, or other operators want to get going quickly leading to people not following the proper cleaning procedures instead taking short cuts so things can get running.

I am a current healthtronics employee with over 7 years of service. This company called EndoPharmacueticals acquired Healthtronics some time ago and is starting to make life difficult for the Healthtronics employees. Healthtronics used to be a fun place to work because we would always have great functions (Summer and Christmas parties) that kept the employees morale high. Now that we are a part of Endo, it is not fun anymore. Endo tried to make sure that we did not have a Christmas party all in 2012 by shrinking the budget of the people who were responsible to plan events like this but we managed to have the party.

Several months ago, Endo created a shared services division in which all of accounts payable from not only our company but a few others that were acquisitioned by Endo. Lets just say the employees in shared services are not happy because they are not being treated well (keep this in mind when applying for any A/P position).

Just recently found out that we many not be getting yearly raises this year because the company "did not do so well". Hmmmm, that it funny for them to say that when Endo is building a muti-million dollar buidling to repace an old one they used to have. If the company was not doing so well then why build a another building?

I just thought I would give a warning to anyone considering applying here. Even If I do not know who you are, I do care enough to say find a company that will treat you well and respect your hard work.

Benefits - pretty good healthcare & PTO package. Company holidays are a joke though because you have to always work them and they haven't finalized holiday compensation pay. 

Work life balance - it depends on your role. Overtime (w/ overtime pay) is not mandatory but if there are issues then someone will have to work. 

So it always depends on the department and at what point you join a company. I worked in manufacturing. First as a manufacturing associate in purification (downstream) and then as a technical writer for deviations/CAPAs/change controls. Worked there for about 3 years. When I first started there the environment was very laid back. But by the end there was a lot of people leaving the company - especially in my department which made the job really difficult. As usual management will brush off your suggestions even though they try to make it look like your voice matters. 

Identify and determine the customer base of Urologists throughout a defined geographic territory which includes Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York 
Convey the clinical benefits, ensure order placement and fulfillment, aid in billing/reimbursement of Valstar and participate in the intravesical administration of Valstar to patients with BCG Refractory CIS  
Track the historical and present buying trends of Valstar and Fortesta among my established customer base of Urologists which has enabled me to maintain existing business while targeting and generating new sales 
Establish and monitor the purchasing channels for Valstar between numerous Urology Practices, Besse Medical, Smith Medical Partners and Specialty Pharmacies 

I make my own schedule, which is based on mine and the company's research and execute that schedule according to physician/ office priority. I make effective and persuasive sales presentations to physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, staff and pharmacists and follow up on commitments made with the goal of increasing prescriptions of my products. The management was good and I learned more about Managed Care and data analysis in particular. I was personally accountable for my territory, which was the greatest motivator for me and the most enjoyable part of my job. I had no problem with the workplace culture.

Typical day at work can be unpredictable despite efforts to plan accordingly prior to the workday.  I have learned a great deal from previous colleagues who are no longer with Endo and therefore the learning experience has declined along with opportunity for growth and advancement.  Management and leadership has been lacking due to poor communication which unfortunately trickled from the top down.  Workplace culture has shifted in the past 1.5 to 2 years which has motivated me to seek out a more desirable work culture, higher job satisfaction and room for growth.  The most enjoyable part of the job is mentoring new employees and delivering on deadlines.

At Endo I was promoted from Sales Representative, to a Specialty Sales Representative, to a Regional Field Based Trainer and finally a District Manager.  As a District Manager my responsibilities increased from managing 10 representatives, 5 territories and two states to managing at the end of my employ 10 states and 16 representatives managing 16 distinct territories.  They company went through multiple corporate structure changes within my 5 years. It was a good company to work for and I wish I would not have left to go into the Hotel Business.  Our division had strong leadership and a appetite for success.

Endo Pharmaceuticals was sometimes face-paced, but thoroughly enjoyable. I learned how to manage the Master Control database and teach users how to submit and use Master Control as well. My manager could not have been more supportive. My manager was traveling three out of four weeks out of the month, and yet always just an email or phone call away, if I needed him. My co-workers were very professional and friendly. 
The hardest and most enjoyable part of the job was deciphering the customers requests. The customer requests would often come in waves of many requests at the same time. To me the most fun is providing all the customer service in the best possible way.

Mapped out my territory according to call plan, called on physicians and staff, in offices and hospitals, recorded information in computer, provided lunch and learns, teamed up with teammates for conventions and meetings, worked with district manager to discuss prospects and how to get increase in market share.
I learned a lot about how to get past the gate keepers, how to engage the physicians in a conversation, how to add value to their business, and how to work a convention or event.
The hardest part was when my territory was changed and I missed meeting with my regulars.
The most enjoyable part was when physicians and staff told me they had success with my product-especially when it was recently launched.
