Pros

The pay and retirement programs are competitive.

Cons

The lack of organization, communication, planning, accountability, process knowledge and proper training is astonishing. That's just to name a few of the problems. All these concerns aren't just on the production floor, but yet they span all levels. I would suggest exhausting all other options and only take a job here as a last resort. It is, without question, the most poorly ran organization I have ever seen.

Pros

Work from home (that may not always be a perk, but it is now for writers), choice of flexible hours (7 AM - 9 AM starting), friendly, helpful people, great bosses, people very interested in their jobs, plus a lot of educational benefits, you are trained on all aspects of Merck and your job.

Cons

I cannot think of any, though sometimes work from home has its drawbacks, because the employee doesn't get all the information that an onsite employee would.
