      Pros

      Good Benefits, pay and co-workers. Adequate training and provided with latest technology to support sales efforts always provided.

      Cons

      Lay - offs for the last 6 years leaving less sales force to do the same amount of work. Work life balance is out of balance. Opportunity for growth only occurs if manager likes you.

      Pros

      Nice colleagues, good 401k benefit.

      Cons

      Continued downsizing and moving IT jobs overseas. Not a great place if you want a career in IT. More work continues to be done by fewer people. Benefits continue to decline including pension which moves to a cash plan, employee contributions to medical and dental, education reimbursement.

      Better Rethink Merck

      Pros

      Some benefits. Cut down to "lousy benefits"

      Cons

      Cut down on Education assistance. Now YOU pay for it and they reimburse a portion. Management is total corrupt (matter of time before someone sues) and good performance is only rewarded with more work unless you have a "buddy". But... That's Corp today. If you are desperate, Merck is good. Otherwise go else where.
