My experience was fantastic until 2008, absolute terrible management of the sales force after that. - Senior Executive Pharmaceuticals Sales Representative GSK Employee Review

Pros

My years with Smithkline Beecham 1998 to GSK 2007 were great. I always knew what was expected of me in the sales capacity. They were a very fair and wonderful to work for. The change in 2008 was defintely for the worse. I understand layoffs and downturn in business is part of a cycle and expected but upper management has absolutely no direction and has completely demotivated the entire sales force. It is incredibly unbelieveable, a complete shame.

Cons

Not a sales organization anymore. Going for customer service. Not happy about this because I am a shareholder. Lost several co-promotions based on sales(non-sales structure). Upper management keeps changing sales structure; this makes sales team realize they have no idea what they are doing. Very demotivated sales team.

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.
