Pros

Good Pay Flexible Hours but alot of computer work (manager) depending on your manager Great Benefits

Cons

They move you around to different territories and change products on you yearly Promotional opportunities are not there. This is a shrinking industry and manager jobs are few and far between. Sales goals are usually out of reach, and the pressure to attain them is always there.

Pros

Genuine management interest in employee attitudes and feelings. A company that values diversity and not just with lip service. Benefits are one of the best in the pharmaceutical industry and there is usually good visibility to a future up the career ladder.

Cons

Complex organization with overlapping and unnecessary layers. Different segments of the company are isolated from others making interaction on common issues difficult. Much duplication of effort.
