Pros

Good pay, great benefit package, use to be family oriented and great place to work . Management use to be thoughtful and caring of their employees.

Cons

Grew too fast and people were promoted into management positions that were not capable and deserving of those positions. Becoming the largest pharmaceutical company destroyed the family oriented caring for their employees philosophy as well as being dedicated to the employees that had been so dedicated during their career. If you got close to retirement ,that was the time they choose to lay you off.

Pros

Been a long time employee and been a great company to work for. They are fair to their employees, good salary, benefits, and promotional opportunities.

Cons

Recent downsizing of the industry and GSK will leave concerns for anyone entering the industry from a sales and marketing side. It's not the industry it used to be, and that is not a bad thing.
