Pros

Good job to get experience in pharmaceuticals. Training of products are covered well.

Cons

Low paying compared to other pharmaceutical companies. No room for advancement even if you have completed management development with them. Management style is very hands on...micromanagers. Most are people who used to be representatives themselves so they don't have any value to bring to their employees.
