Pros

Name recognition of the company. Has numerous products in various disease state, gives you many areas to transfer for promotions. State of the art computer technology.

Cons

Large company with many reps in same territory. May find yourself tripping over each other in physician's offices. This could cause "overkill".

Pros

Good benefits, such as generous 401(k), health and dental, and tuition reimbursement.

Cons

Seem to get into a lot of trouble with the government. New management was good, but not sure now that they have been taken over by Merck.
