      Formerly Happy Organon Employees Hate SGP and Are All Leaving ASAP!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is a large company so very anonymous. You can get by here in a Wally-like" way and not be noticed for years if you do a minimum of work.

      Cons

      Management elevated by the Peter Principle. They promote good workers who have no management skills rather than hire or create/train managers. Two faced management. They project that they are ethical and give us nothing but ethics/compliance training, yet lie about their clinical trials. They cut or force out good people to increase shareholder value. This is an awful place to work. Everyone who was knowledgeable from Organon has left.

      Schering-Plough Mirrors Wallstreet, Management ProspersWhile Wages & Moral of Everyday Employees Suffer

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Relationships with customers, health insurance, 401K match and company car.

      Cons

      Schering-Plough is at the low end of the pay scale for pharmaceutical sales. Sales managers are abusive and harrassing and HR supports them. Goals are unrealistic and therefore bonus potential is minimal.

      Merck allows flexibility but needs to implement a new compensation plan.

      Pros

      I have a great deal of flexibility in my position and this helps me balance my work and family life. I currently have the ability to work from home at times. I can also change my hours to attend to personal matters. With this flexibility I provide Merck with many extra hours. Most times I check emails and work at night and on weekends. I appreciate all the flexibility I am given. It's a win for everyone.

      Cons

      The compensation plan is no longer working. Our compensation plan provides stock options for those with a high performance. The stock price has been decreasing over the years and stock options have not been above water in years. Merck needs to rethink how the put a compensation package together.
