Avanir - Actual sales people left there a long long time ago
Sunovion - Never had any, entry level positions all the way back to the last name of the company and entry level pay for the duration of the company, regardless of products
Otsuka - See Sunovion
Vanda - Literally the place where managers that have fired, out of the industry, sued successfully for egregious and embarrassing issues, arrested for drug distribution (actual street drugs, not pharmaceuticals), and those that are contract managers with failed mega pharma experience
Takeda - Maybe about 15 years ago they had sales people, in diabetes
