Pros

Good working environment, some very capable people. Lots of growth potential. Not as open to new ideas as previously thought.

Cons

Pay is all over the place. Same seniority ranking can have over 30% difference, doesnt matter amount of direct reports or work hours. Company has restructured benefits, bonuses, and pensions to be as low and as cheap as possible. Work hours can be quite tense at time, and culture represents a hit or miss and you're out. Recognitions are a bit of a joke when they do happen. Organization very burocratic and slow to react at times, very seniority driven.

Pros

Great big pharma experience at the local level due to tenured colleagues and managers. Excellent salary and benefits. Superb initial and ongoing training.

Cons

Numerous recent changes in policies have seriously impaired sales reps ability to serve customers. Not incentivized based on sales but a convoluted system of test taking and manager reviews. Rumor mill is rampant and managers lead from behind rather than providing a clear vision based on reality. Big disconnect between corporate management and sales reps and not all local field managers do a very good job of supporting their teams.
