Pros

Training regimen is second to none. Once you have graduated from GSK "bootcamp," you have a common bond with your co-workers that will result in a common level of clinincal knowledge. This translates into confidence in sharing clinical information with common customers.

Cons

Local influences on sales performance in relation to competitive regional co-workers who do not enjoy the exact same obstacles. This circumstance results in unfair regional sales rankings.
