Pros

Still one of the bigger players with a strong pipeline. Benefits are good with ample time off for what is asked of you. Compensation is good

Cons

Earlier decisions to increase the sales force has made layoffs a common place. Job security is not guaranteed which produces a lower moral with the employees.

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.
