Pros

Good salary and benefits. Intelligent friendly people at all levels of the organization in my area. Many conveniences (such as a bank right on the premises with no fees if you open your account at that location). Flex time and good management (at least in my area)

Cons

A lot of people in temp. positions have trouble getting in permanently.

Pros

Great employees to help you achieve success for the newbies and veterans Health plan and extras are equivalent to other places Uncapped commission Learn a lot about interviewing and you really become an expert in this process (I am never nervous on interview anymore) If you have a great boss, they keep you updated on what is going on in the market and let you know you're progress

Cons

Quality of managers have gone down and aren't clear on their expectations of the team Upper management are not really the expert in their fields anymore Too much pressure in the vaccine division to bring the US part of the company out of the hole Salary and compensation is much lower than other pharmaceutical companies and they require more work for less pay Pressure on sending letters to Senators and different government officials on healthcare plans which I believe should not be in allowed in your job Restructuring has lead to a lot of problems and a lot of animosity If your boss is lazy, dishonest and discouraging, then your whole team will suffer and you will not make any money They do not always value their employees and they are quick to get rid of you once your numbers are down.

Pros

excellent benefits and pay. extremely flexible with time off and ability to work from home when needed. pension plan and 401k are great.

Cons

depending on work area, opportunities for advancement are limited. there have been a lot of changes under the new ceo and no one seems to ever be in a really secure position for too long.
