Pros

Offers some of the best training in the industry Salary and benefits are second to none as far as Sales Jobs are concerned Employees overall are treated well with incentives through various contest, bonus cash awards, Recognition trips

Cons

Sales Report (GAR) was consistently inaccurate as often times Sales Representatives would have missing data that could hurt his or her rankings. It often takes investigating on the Sales Representatives behalf to insure that the data is accurate. If you are new to the Pharma Industry the training can be intense for the first 18 months. You will be in and out of New York or the Regional office in training which includes Test and Sales training. If you have a family life, it will not be very flexible during this time period Pharma Industry as a whole is going through constant downsizing and I see the Industry moving more from permanent employees to utilizing a Contract Sales Force so be prepared.
