Contingent Workers Aren't Real Employees to Merck

Scientist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is competitive. Especially for the area. It's difficult to find better pay elsewhere for the same work

Cons

If you are brought in as a contractor/contingent worker there is a very good chance that you'll be told about "conversions" being made to keep you and your experience at the company. It's their favorite white lie. My former team (made up of ~75% contractors) was told this for almost a year. The conversions never happened and management stopped addressing us entirely.
