Pros

Close to home and I enjoy my peer co-workers. Salary average. Bonus disappointing.

Cons

I knew GSK as a Pharmaceutical Sales company from my years in the field selling pharmaceutical products. Never in a million years would I think that working for this organization would be so dysfunctional! I admit that going from a field based position to working in a manufacturing environment would require an adjustment. But three years later I can tell you that this organization does NOT live by its "Values". It is a "Boys-club" and the majority of Upper management "leads" through bullying and intimidation. Communication is conducted via a Top-down driven, command and control, hierarchical structure. In today's business world never in a million years would I think that this type of organization would still exist. No room for advancement. Not even a courtesy interview when applying for internal positions. In fact I have proof that in one case the hiring manager never even received my resume / application.

Pros

Staff consists of high-quality professionals working in a cooperative culture. The compensation package is good with excellent benefits. Company markets products that positively impact people.

Cons

Company has been in state of transition for 15 years without a consistent target which is impacting company culture. Management decisions are often reactionary, rather than strategic.

Pros

Fairly competitive salary and great health benefits. There's also a good feeling associated with helping people cope with or prevent illnesses.

Cons

The US business conducts regular headcount reduction exercises, which results in increasing workloads for the remaining employees. Leadership is hit or miss.
