Pros

Pharma-sales is easy once you are established. Good health benefits, work hours and company car. Sales jobs with reasonable base salaries are always good. Very good compensation packages for reps recently layed off. GSK is not a pressure sales environment.

Cons

Doctors don't want to see reps. (This is an industry problem and not specific to GSK.) Often felt more like a caterer than a sales person. You can go an entire day and not see a Doctor legit. GSK has gone through massive layoffs. Moral is low. Can't get promoted. No room for advancement. Industry is dying. Sales numbers were guess work. Bonus potential seemed capped. Wages were going down. Sales portfolio often depends on other sales reps which can be unfair.
