BMS grabbed up a bunch of our reps this year giving many salaries that topped $150,000 plus bonus, signing payouts and a ton of stock. Bonus potential at Salix has been good but we have also seen quarters where more than 80% of reps didn’t hit target. At the end of the day, we get paid better than most primary care reps but much less than true specialty reps. It’s bearable

If you have a good manager. But string a couple of weak quarters together and they will put you on a PIP. No matter if you won PC the year before. Bottom line, Salix is a good place holder for veterans between jobs or entry level Pharma job for newbies. We have no R and D and have not replaced products that lost patent. Xifaxan is kind of it.  Once that’s gone, so is Salix. My two cents.
