      Pros

      I was offered more money to leave a great career with a competitor company that I had been with for many years.

      Cons

      I was scouted to join msd, only to be let go in a restructure. If I had known that this company history of major restructures yearly there is no way I would have moved. I wish I had never spoken to the person who recruited me, no doubt they probably got a spotter bonus for ruining my career.

      Hire Hire Hire Fire Fire Fire! Yearly job cuts Oct/Nov, 84 reps fired this year before Xmas. Very stressful workplace.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      To ensure successful business transition to digital, MSD is fully adopting digital, emails and ways to directly market our bands with minimal need for traditional representative roles. Although our brands are delivering US$600m+ revenue and double digit growth in Australia, MSD routinely uses job cuts to prop up growth. This happens every year in Oct/Nov. Full time roles already being replaced by external contract employees from Hahn health.

      Cons

      Still too many representatives in primary care and specialty care, more reductions inevitable. We are shifting the way we interact with customers. Current rep vehicles are x-trail, Camry or Tucson, likely realignment of vehicle choice to suit much-reduced resourcing in 2020. More to come!

      Toxic culture

      Pros

      Great annual leave allowance. Most of the people who work there are good people who want to get things done right

      Cons

      Management unable to own responsibility to remove the toxic culture on site, would even go as far as they reward negative behaviour
