Pros

GlaxoSmithKline is one of the biggest Pharma companies world-wide, so the name recognition stands out on a resume. Because of the large amount of money in big pharma, the technology here is superior to what you might find at a smaller company.

Cons

NO job security. No feedback, advice, encouragement, or even any communication with supervisors and upper management. No sense of direction or work importance. No hope for being hired full-time after completion of co-op.

Pros

The sales training is top notch and ongoing. Personally, I have met a ton of great people over the years. Your experience will greatly depend on your manager. Excellent benefits. Specialty divisions embrace a more entrepreneurial culture.

Cons

At times, goals are extremely unrealistic and no one can hit them. During this current climate, much like other pharmaceutical companies, there is a lot of change to key areas such as incentive compensation and recognition. These changes seem to keep happening so you never really know how you're being measured. The pharmaceutical division is much more micromanaged.
