Pros

GSK is a well-respected, forward thinking, global leader in the healthcare industry. Salaries are fair, and as a sales rep, I can say that I am not micro-managed. This is a good company to work for, but I would not recommend joining us on the pharma side -- try vaccines, HIV, consumer health, etc.

Cons

Because of the economic situation nationally, this is a bad time to get into pharma sales. I've had multiple managers in a very short time frame, experienced two recent lay-offs, and am certain another is looming. Bonus is almost impossible to make at this point, as well.

Pros

Can't emphasize enough how approachable, non-judgmental, and supportive the team is, both managers and colleagues. Everyone genuinely cares about your holistic professional development and growth.

Cons

This may seem unrealistic, but I genuinely did not have a single negative experience during my time here.
