Enter at your own risk- Merck Durham Site
Pros
This site prides itself on empowering its employees and giving them the opportunity to participate in the process of remediating issues. The site is also good with allowing internal employees to readily transfer into different positions which allows the employee to get more work experience in different aspects of business. The company also has pretty awesome benefits but they could be a little cheaper. Working with other employees has been the best part about working at this company for me.
Cons
Merck means Metrics is the ongoing joke at work. This company has so many metrics that are not value-added but every employee, manager, assoc. director, etc is pressured to hit. This company values hitting these metrics and getting results over the value of their employees. Many employees and managers are doing the work of two to three employees because this site run so lean and will not approve the additional headcount needed to get the job done right first time. So most of the time you spend your time remediating issues that could have been avoided had they taking the right amount of time and had the correct amount of resources to do it right first time instead of trying to hit metrics. On top of that they do not pay competitive salaries compared to the rest of the industry.
