Pros

You work for a global company and you are provided with all the resources and materials to perform your job at a high level.

Cons

Advancement to high positions seems to be a bit uneven. This is a new Merck site and most of the advancement opportunities have gone to individuals who have been at the plant since the beginning. The issue is some of these individuals have been given leadership positions that they are poor suited to handle i.e. not enough experience in knowing how to lead people.
