Good pay for entry level job but below industry standard. Ample vacation and personal time. 401K and benefits! Very talented and smart colleagues. Ability to work from home.

Cons

-Inexperienced managers (no sales experience in sales!) -micro managers -lack of trust and respect for employees from managers -favoritism to tenured employees who lack skills and abilities that are expected for new employees -lack of communication between managers -managers that are not leaders and are only concerned with self agenda or career path -no true promotions (i.e. a position opens, anyone can apply) -ability to work from home but rarely granted on request -major pay differences between team members but everyone shares same responsibilities and more is expected from new team members -tenured people are not properly trained in selling ways and can not provide guidance or direction

Pros

A great facility in Mississauga with the Pharma team. Plenty of good people trying to do their best. Great flexibility for lifestyles such as early Friday's, VPN access to work remotely. Starting to catch up to the other consumer good companies . Andrew Witty is a great leader.

Cons

Global structure was still not working efficiently but it takes time. Local management very weak. Little marketing direction or leadership, focused on a few team members and disregard the work of others. Poor sales leadership but a great sales team underneath looking for guidance and support. HR was not visible or impactful.
