      Pros

      Decent products. That is all I can say.

      Cons

      When I hired in, I was looking for a stable company; one with growth opportunity. I know, the economy and downsizing and all. But, they were expanding the hospital sales force and I thought this would be a great place to really develop as a salesman. Unfortunately, when a generic hit the market and Vytorins clinicals were published, all bets were off. It was a crazy downward spiral. Heck, they couldn't even hire a manager for over 1 1/4 years for my territory. That should say it all right there.

      Pros

      Good pay and benefits, flexible work schedules, well known company.

      Cons

      Current environment surrounding pharmaceutical companies, especially Merck. The company is so big that there's a rather sterile, impersonal feel to working here. Morale is not good at the moment, but I think that the same is true of the entire pharmaceutical industry these days.

      Pros

      I have to agree with the posting today if you spend enough time there as I have it begins to be about who you know not how u perform. Reconition is not always about the job u do or how well u do it. It all comes down to how well your liked by your manager and how your being positioned for a future opportunity..

      Cons

      The downside is how your peers treat you. It seems like you make one mistake or say the wrong thing and your cut off at the kneew
