Pros

Great way to get your foot in the door of pharma

Cons

No opportunity to grow at all. Promised opportunities, strung along for years. I also felt like the environment felt clique-ish.

Pros

Really great manager. Remote work major plus. No micro management. Great pay

Cons

Annual salary increase this year isn't until September which is odd.

Pros

Great benefits including PTO, health care and other benefits.

Cons

Very much a brother-in-law feel when it comes to promotions and praise. If you aren't in the cool club, you will be shunned and left out. Management also makes business decisions without understanding the niche part of the various industries.
