Pros

Great Consumer Brands [after they purchased MERCK Consumer Care - they added to their Brand Portfolio]

Cons

Bayer Consumer Care doesn't value "some" of their employees. There is Corporate Politics, and Bias, as They do for some, and are not consistent across the board [pertaining to Job Security, Salary, Vacation, and Job Titles].

Pros

Great benefits and pay. The people in most areas are good to work with and for the most part everyone gets along.

Cons

Upper-management doesn't listen to the people who actually do the work. The work load is way too much and work hours are continually changing. They have an open-door policy but won't listen to you (if you can catch them). Work life balance is next to none (unless you are upper-management.)

Pros

Great benefits, salary and training. Great products

Cons

A lot of fires to put out: 1. class action lawsuits re: safety 2. tv.commercial/ad had to be pulled for "false advertising" 3. discrimination lawsuits against internal executive team 4. blockbuster drug went generic a year early. Leadership had no idea. We found out on the streets... 5. 65% increase in price on medical device-providers were very upset and it took a year for most insurances to meet and approve the price increase for reimbursement. All these negative things cause 5 rounds of layoffs over a 3 year period.
