Pros

Lot's of differant ways to make money-such as manufactor promotions. For such a large company they try and listen to their employees and make effective changes.

Cons

Workload can be overwhelming, need to develop strong relationship with clients. Not enough administrative support, expected to sell and keep up on all the paper work. Meeting all your sales goals very dependent on territory, if you have a bad one you may never hit your commission. A lot of products to be familiar with, over 800,000. Very dependent on manufacture partners to get your clients what they want and that can be difficult to manage at times since your clients will be upset at you. Since you are overall responsible for your territory be prepared to work a lot of hours!!

Pros

If you're stuck in the Greenville area for some unfortunate reason, it's a job.

Cons

This place is functionally a mafia. The same rotating cast of "old head" people that have been at the site for decades watches each other's backs, and overworks everyone else. God help you if you're actually capable or smart, because they will overload you as much as possible, while ensuring that they, and their pals, do as little as possible. They really have no concept of capacity management at all. There is no math, metrics, or even mild logic that goes in to how they define R&R or distribute work. No one really knows how to do anything at all. Things that sound simple, like shipping a sample for instance.. Well, clear your afternoon. It doesn't help that all of their systems are completely antiquated. I should also note that you won't get any support on anything really, from training to execution. No one wants to be here, and it's so obvious. The place looks and feels like a prison because it is. It doesn't even pay that well compared to other pharma companies! That barbed wire isn't there to keep people out, it's to keep them in.
