Pros

Strong financial foundation allows for long term success Merck people do care about the company and each other Pharma hours - see 9 - 5 as a long day

Cons

Culture is broken, trying to avoid the mistakes of the past - Vioxx for Merck the Consent Decree for Schering. Radically different management styles between the two companies with no reasonable way to blend them. Efforts are being wasted trying to satisfy both sides while everyone is looking for cover.

Pros

Merck offers it's employees excellent benefits.

Cons

Even though the benefits are excellent at the West Point Merck Facility the respect level is not same; I've worked at the West Point Merck for now going on tens years and all I can I say is the maturity level of some of the workers that I've encountered kinda vary. Between the passive–aggressive behavior of some to the perpetual adolescenceI of others make me wonder on how this plant site still even exists. For that is to say this is nothing more than a farce. Having so many people more concerned about their own personal benefits such as getting paid more for doing less work, having parties on company time, and throwing the daily baby showers into the mix on company property and on company time. I sometimes confuse the location of this plant site with the North Penn school students. I say this because being someone who had graduated with his bachelor's degree, that is myself, and working at place where there others who have supposedly theirs I can honeslty say that I don't see it. You would think in this most difficult economic times people would grow up and even take more resposibility for their actions but apparently as long as these individuals are not effected by their own outcomes why change?
