Pros

The pay, car, benefits, reputation of working in Pharma, Fortune 500, flexibility, and global company that’s recognized.

Cons

Field sales is so toxic. Pharma has issues, but GSK tries to be the best toxic place of them all. - Patient first has made everything subjective. - Managers have scripted ratings aka calibration. - There’s tons of busy work, you must put on an act in order to appease management. - Success is based on how your manager likes you. - Several layoffs in past years. - Company has questionable ethics, Search this one. - They commonly force people out they don’t like. - They just changed to reward sales again, but this could mean easier layoffs.

Pros

Can't emphasize enough how approachable, non-judgmental, and supportive the team is, both managers and colleagues. Everyone genuinely cares about your holistic professional development and growth.

Cons

This may seem unrealistic, but I genuinely did not have a single negative experience during my time here.
