      Pros

      It's a decent place to start a career and grow a little. There can be decent opportunities found for those who come in on an entry level job. There are also opportunities for career development if the funding is there for your specfic department.

      Cons

      While Schering can be an OK place to start a career and grow a little, dependent upon what area / department you are in, you may be better off searching for another mid-career position elsewhere after a little experience has been gained here.

      Pros

      I cannot speak for all employees since this Schering is a very large corporation with many different areas. I can only speak for the area I currently work under. The best reason is the "easy-going" nature of my group. They are not clock watchers. They are of the opinion that if your job is complete you can go home. Of course they do expect in times of need that you go the extra mile.

      Cons

      The company seems to keep getting itself into problems. Again this year we will have no raises, no promotions etc. There have been a lot of layoffs this year and the work envronment is not great. A lot of people are worried and not terribly happy.

      Great people, but management is not handling crisis well.

      Pros

      Many high-performers, and there was a strong team spirit until the company ran into trouble. It could be a great company again, for those who can gut out the current troubles.

      Cons

      The company has encountered serious trouble, and large staff cuts have been made without regard to individual performance. Elements of cuts have not been rational -- high performers axed, and their positions later posted as new openings. Clearly not well thought out.
