Pros

Decent benefits with plenty of in house resources available to enhance your selling skills. Upward mobility if you're willing to brown nose and sell off label.

Cons

Micromanagement from managers who never did well in the field but now know everything. Policy of "managing out" reps that won't follow sometimes questionable managers advice.

Pros

Talk a good talk, have great ideas but don't deliver a quality product. Good benefits and great social activities. Some departments have an extremely heavy workload.

Cons

Very dysfunctional. Hire folks, start programs, lay folks off to gain cost saving bonus for upper management. Seen this done at least 3-4 times.

Pros

The best employer I have ever had the pleasure of working for. They were always keeping me busy or I could go to the training room to learn more pharmaceutical industry

Cons

Downsizing, I hate it when it happens and I would like to be rehired
