Pros

PTO, benefits, pays for school

Cons

Terrible management. Get ready to earn every cent of your pay check and then some. Older employees pawn off work, work is unbalanced and uneven. Merck prides itself on ergonomics but doesn't know the meaning of the word. Employees are not trained, company is all about MONEY cutting costs and not worrying about employees. VIRKON is terrible! Extremely hard to move in the comapny. Awful home to work ratio, you're always at work and overtime is mandatory.

Pros

Work from home (that may not always be a perk, but it is now for writers), choice of flexible hours (7 AM - 9 AM starting), friendly, helpful people, great bosses, people very interested in their jobs, plus a lot of educational benefits, you are trained on all aspects of Merck and your job.

Cons

I cannot think of any, though sometimes work from home has its drawbacks, because the employee doesn't get all the information that an onsite employee would.
