The fixed duration Lilly employees that Sunovion got were people who were going to be out of a job soon. So it's not about them being good or not, if they would have waited till the end of their contract, there would have been no Sunovion job to take. The other folks from Lilly were top notch (in my experience with SE and Central Region) They were psych reps with a vast product experience, most with over 6+ years experience. The 3 that I know were all at least 8 years in their current territories, and were rated as the best by their customers during back ground checks. There aren't as many of them with Sunovion, because they weren't looking for jobs--Sunovion found them. Lilly hadn't laid a bunch of people off like Pfizer and Jansenn had recently done.
