Pros

Large company Medical/dental/ 401k/ect Company car, expense account, get to meet and socialize with lots of people. Flexible schedule but very long working hrs.

Cons

Old fashioned, get promotion based on friendship not performance. Unfair territory structure. If you get a good territory you are more likely to hit sales targets. If they like you and want to tap you for promotion in the future they give you the fertile territory from the jump. So you get high numbers and it seems like you are amazing when the numbers has little to do with your actual effort.

Business Outlook

Pros

Abbott Labs offers great growth planning and career opportunities for those willing to relocate and sacrifice their work life balance. They offer great benefits with stock options, 401 k matching and year end profit sharing.

Cons

The cons would probably apply to any pharmaceutical company in todays market place. What they ask of you and what you are able to produce are unrealistic. It has become increasing difficult to see physcians and leave samples at offices. Many have adopted a no see policy but corporate still requires you to see a predetermined amount of people. Representatives and Managers are often left with moral delimas. Employee satisfaction and empowerment has been long forgotten concepts.
