Pros

Pay is fair and benefits are fantastic.

Cons

The leadership in the company lacks morals and ethics. This reflects on their decision-making, how the company is run and how people are managed. Heavy workload for lower level employees. They do not respect work life balance. Employees are encouraged/expected to work long hours. They make sudden decisions and promote incompetent people just because they have tenure or they rubbed someone in higher mgt. the right way. Leadership is weak, but very well paid. Management is focused on keeping their heads low, staying out of trouble, and protecting their budgets. Plenty of incompetent managers. Head-counts decreased or put on hold, although doing well financially. Work environment is typical of Big Pharma. Drink the Kool-Aid and get along with everyone and you should do fine. “(What can we do?)” This is a typical response by my superior - she would rather avoid decision-making, controversy and doing the right thing, in order to preserve her own job. She lacks the backbone.

Pros

small terriotry size, some good DMs out there- some GREAT DMS out there. Decent salary.

Cons

no bonuses- no pipeline- managers are not good leaders- meetings always at hotels under renovations- roommates- random roommates! Poor leadership form Area Management and Regional. District managers are decent. They will lay you off if your base gets too high- don't plan on retiring.

Pros

It is an awesome place to start career. Internship experience at this fortune 500 company is highly desirable and can be used to market a recent graduate.

Cons

You may have little interaction with your direct manager if you do not put forward the effort to communicate. Hard to stay on task with minimal directions.
