Pros

Merck is a good company with great values. They stand behind their product and never waiver on what the reason we do what we do is.

Cons

Policies, processes are put in place in order to better Mercks standing in our industry but when upper manangement has to implement those changes, the rules do not apply to them. There is an inconsistancy in the message that is passed down. We have a lot of good people willing to make sacrifices to make Merck as good as it once was but it is shown time and time again that the people do not matter. This is sad to see

Pros

Merck used to be a wonderful company to work for but the culture has changed and there is more stress to constantly achieve and get the paperwork completed perfectly and on time. it's not about selling but just remain in compliance Merck has good benefits and a competitive salary; Over the years they have hired too many reps who can no longer be effective with physicians as there are too many reps calling on physicians and now physicians don't want to see reps at all.

Cons

Poor management; lack of trust between management and reps
