hard to get promoted, valuable training is rare (other than mundane e-learning courses), work on weekends is the norm, slow to change, negative culture (many people dissatisfied but due to the economy, are sticking around for the paycheck)

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.
