Pros

The majority of the reps are decent, enjoyable people. The position is a good stepping stone to a different pharma company.

Cons

Management is loaded with dishonest sharks. Micro-managers are the norm. Compensation lags behind other pharma companies. Raises are skimpy, even with good HR reviews. Room sharing at meetings. Primary care reps are treated as inferior beings.

Pros

Nothing, harsh but true. Some of the people are nice but I get a pit in my stomach on Sunday night knowing I have to work here in the morning!

Cons

Disorganized, terrible training, everyone doing things differently, ask 10 people get 10 answers, boring job with too much administrative tasks, I don't really have any REAL responsibility, too many people need to be involved in simple tasks, a trained monkey could do this job.

Pros

They exist, they go to lunch.

Cons

Calcified bureaucratic layers of useless processes they call 'work" is a waste of Co.'s funds and employees potential. Everything is done in a circular way nothing is straightforward and economical , many things seems to be there for no reason but to make extra work seem important. Cost of quality is astronomical but upper management is too busy cashing stock options to notice.Culture of do as you told and follow the processes that seem to develop the same way as natural sediments of Earth. One can find calcified remains of middle management among those layers of dung.
