Pros

salary, bonus, pension, insurance, employee perks, easy work, was able to do what they considered a full-time job in less than 20 hours a week which left me time to pursue other interests

Cons

You are considered "new" at Merck for the first 5 years. Thick crony politics and need to focus on your "image" more than the quality of work. Takes two to three times to complete work than is really necessary - not to due to compliance/regulatory environment - but trying to appear to be working.

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.
