Pros

Benefits are good. Training is top-notch and ranks at top Pharma companies. Sales training is very good and gives employees new to sales an excellent roadmap to follow. Work life balance is great if you are an efficient worker.

Cons

It is very hard to get noticed in a company that is this large. Your are dependent on your manager. Managers are trained to be "Box-checkers" and will grade as such. This is challenging because a true sales person knows that you cannot follow a script exactly every single time which is what a lot of managers require.

Pros

None besides salary and getting exposed to a highly educated workforce that you know will be laid off and disbanded. This could help future entrepreneurial efforts.

Cons

Company managed by a junior level executive. No sense of direction for the business, and instead of intelligently growing they are pretty much lining up for a sell off.
