Pros

I worked for the pharmaceutical division as a management trainee and as an area manager later. GSK Bangladesh followed all the global vision, mission, values set by the GSK headquarter at UK. Unlike most other pharmaceuticals in Bangladesh, fields sales force was treated with respect.

Cons

Due to global guideline restriction, there has always been a push to cut down promotion cost and focus more on detailing. However, considering Bangladeshi doctor visit detailing practice, that is a huge drawback. I always struggled to motivate my team to go to doctors barehanded, whereas other companies used a variety of promo materials.

Pros

if you do your job well, no one will hound you or micro manage. it is a very solo job and can get repetitive. fun departmental and site wide activities planned.

Cons

cannot participate in all activities because contractors cannot be treated or "rewarded" or included as employees. Very hard to get hired on.
