These guys get commission and that precludes them in my opinion to overtime. If they were hourly employees then it is different. We all get base salaries which I believe in the pharmaceutical world is quite substantial.
Working more than 40 hours is the world of sales. It is a position that demands performance. In enterprise software you can really make money. The low side is you have 1 year to make your quota or you are out. Big risk big reward.
