Pros

Merck has products in many therapeutic areas and an excellent pipeline.

Cons

Merck did not compensate their sales representatives fairly. When you are considered a "specialty" representative, and are earning 15-20k less on average than many primary care representatives, it is a disgrace.

Pros

Great benefits and high salary, a lot of room for growth.

Cons

Experience depends highly on your manager and department. I worked my butt off and had an awful manager in a toxic department, but now I have an amazing manager in a much calmer department.
