Official Apex Reviews Rating:


In Escape From The Pharma Drug Cartel, a former drug rep and industry cheerleader takes a hard look at the pharmaceutical sales field from the inside, starting with its middle heyday, all the way to near-recent practices. Readers witness the flourish and luxe of this bloated industry, and follow it to its downturn and likely demise through the eyes of Kimberly Cheryl.

Cheryl introduces herself as an industry insider, forsaken and given up on once her health takes a sudden downturn, an incident described in excruciating and astounding detail near the beginning of the book. Readers begin with a peek into the industry’s training philosophies and management practices, including witnessing events and training programs described in such lavish and opulent detail as to be simultaneously inviting - yet strangely disturbing - definitely echoing the swollen wallets and bank accounts of this para-cartel. Cheryl then traces her path through the light days and watches for us as the industry seems to turn.

While giving eye-opening insight into both her personal and professional life, Escape From The Pharma Drug Cartel also augments Cheryl’s experience with the perspectives of other pharma drug soldiers, provided through glimpses into conversations, online communities, and others’ beliefs regarding the industry.

With great foreshadowing that hooks the reader, along with intimate details and incredible highlights, this book offers an insightful look into a roller coaster of a career.
