      Great place to work if you want a big pharma company.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great pipeline of products and versatile portfolio of products. If you want to move into a specialty sales force position, now is the time. The company is in transition but is trying to be more specialized. They are always looking for talented, hard working sales reps with proven sales success.

      Cons

      Very big pharma. Not a lot of room to manage your territory as you see fit. Very little say into speakers or speaking opportunities.

      Large pharma - lots of downfalls

      Pharmaceuticals sales representative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexibility - as with any pharma job you basically make your own schedule (although the official hours are 8:30 - 5); decent car selection - Mercury Mariner is a nice little SUV; offer job share opportunities (but they are impossible to get)

      Cons

      They don't have any loyalty to their employees; no clue what layoffs are based on; 2 day manager ride alongs can be painful. Unrealistic goals. Entire nation doesn't reach goals they set and they MAY lower it so some can actually get paid. GSK's training is really hard and stressful compared to other pharma companies; very passable but lots of memorization and repeating back word for word.

      Good starter job, improvement needed with career advancement opportunities

      Executive sales representative

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      GSK has a good reputation among the healthcare community. Their products are often best-in-class in many therapeutic areas. Personally, I did quite well working as a executive sales rep. finishing in the top 1% for performance three consecutive years in the Phoenix area. The compensation and expectations were fair.

      Cons

      The company did nothing to retain my services when a personal crisis forced me to move back East. This experience really soured my image of the company and left me to believe that they do not value the needs of their employees despite what I had done for the company. Also, the company needs to improve the process for applying for career advancement opportunities.
