As long as they are not laying off, it is a great company.

Therapeutic specialty representative

Business Outlook

Pros

Large Company, Great Benefits and Salary. They do have top of the line products and great name recognition. The budgets are down recently, but there is still alot of money to spend to drive business.

Cons

There have been a lot of layoffs....many large aquisitions - makes for low job security. The new pharma guidelines headed by pfizer are counterproductive to being able to make an influence. Lawyers rule the roost in sales....everything need to be approved by legal and it is monitered. Any speaker programs can be spot audited and there are many many rules which make it difficult for those who want to sell off of anything but the company approved script.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great large company with a huge name recognition in the industry.

Cons

Too big of a company, that had way to many changes in upper management. People need stability in order to keep the ship moving. Too much change will cause the ship to stray away from the main focus, THE CUSTOMER.
