Pros

Great team and company atmosphere. People greet you in the hallways and morale always seems to be high. The satisfaction of doing a job that helps the lives of those in need is a major plus. The health benefits are above average but you still suffer with the weak salary.

Cons

The salary is not good at all. They do not provide cost of living adjustment for us in California. If you work on a team for part of the year and then switch to another team your bonus potential is pro-rated only for the time you spent on your new team. That might be easier to swallow if they told you this when you apply for another team. It would be an understatement to say that everyone gathers around the water cooler to complain about base pay and poor raises (well below industry averages).

Pros

I am no longer at this company (left last year). However, at the time my department offered flexibility in work schedules. I also liked that employees are given many opportunities to pursue professional development through education reimbursement program, on-the-job training and in-house resources.

Cons

The downsides mainly revolved around poor management. In the area I worked in (the Lash/Xcenda subsidiary -- a smaller company under the AmerisourceBergen umbrella), there were managers who had been there since the company was much smaller. These managers were unwilling to let go of 'what we always do'. There was a big problem with managers hiring personal friends, giving friends the best projects and professional education opportunities (when space was limited), and then promoting those friends to higher positions with better pay over staff with more related experience and higher performance. HR and Sr Management did little address employees' concerns over promotion practices, despite repeated complaints. On some teams, those promoted weren't capable of doing their new job efficiently and the work fell on those who were passed over (leading to a team of disgruntled and unmotivated employees).

Pros

The comraderie between sales associates was exceptional. Consultative sales in the healthcare industry was challenging and fun.

Cons

Sales associates were not rewarded based on their true accomplishments. There was much prejudice within the sales management team. There was a system for sales associated to review their standings; however, this was taken away when some of the top performers were not being rewarded accordingly. Lies are prevalent within management.
