Pros

Good pay, benefits and perks. If you have a good management team for your sales force then the job was good.

Cons

Lack of transparency about how bonus' were calculated, National sales managers could (and did) withhold people from Gold Awards if they didn't "feel" like the person deserved it. National sales manager also increased forecast mid-year when product was performing substantially above target and withheld bonus when products performance didn't meet that new target by years end. As a sales rep, upper management only interacted with you 3 times a year at meetings and they would use that time to watch every move you made and critique it to death.

Pros

Money is good but the management team only worries about what corporate wants and forgets commen sense.

Cons

They are self insured and if you get hurt good luck in keeping your job because they do not honor disability claims... I fought them for three years and was denied at every level.

Pros

The programs were interesting and challenging and the people were great.

Cons

The work started to get pulled over to J&J and away from Janssen AI, so big pharma bureaucracy came into play.
