Pros

No one knows if you are working or not. It's a "WallyWorld". Good severance packages coming when Merck cut all of our jobs, Just ride thewave until the severances come. 6 months of pay...

Cons

No management direction. The best have already been fired in the name of cost cutting. The management that is left is deluded into thinking that anything they do now matters. Hello--You have been bought out. Your job is over! No one likes each other or even speaks. It is as bad as anyone could ever imagine. The place sucks!!!

Business Outlook

Pros

Stable company and a secure job

Cons

Too large and bureaucratic. People are boxed into positions that does not harness their true potentials. Management is frequently more concerned with how to limit the opportunities of employees to leave rather than bringing out the best from them.

If you believe in being rewarded for hard work, this is NOT the place for you.

Pros

To be honest, I can't think of any right now! I'm sure there were many at one point in time but there is very little enthusiasm left in this work place.

Cons

Little or no professional development. Excellent performance does not equal equal excellent rewards. If you know how to play the political game (and kiss a lot of a@$#) you have the potential to go far! Right now they are making cost cuts left right and center, although i believe Fred and his gang still get to ride everywhere in their chauffer driven limousines. At least the company is still spending money where it counts!
