Pros

Health benefits are very good. Vaccines are very important, especially when a vaccine company can actually produce them.

Cons

SP is a terrible company to work for unless you fit into one of the following definitions; (1) You are from central PA, (2) you are in your early 20's and this is your first job since graduating from a Lehigh Valley college, (3) you love being beaten down daily with zero ability to show some creativeness while using your skills. Pharma reps BEWARE! You will be looked down upon and if you thought primary care was bad, well you will be in for a major shock. This is way worse. Two field rides per month! Constantly being questioned on your routing. Terrible customer service when it comes to actually delivering vaccines. There is always a new fire to put out and don't forget the multitude of "trackers" you must fill in weekly. Make sure you do your job as well as the job of your account or public health manager. If not, those folks will turn on you in a heartbeat. The management style is terrible and there must be something negative in coaching reports so you don't get comfortable. Did I mention vaccine production??? Two Pentacel shortages in 3 years. Kind of hard to compete with that going on. You are welcome GSK. Late on flu deliveries more than once. Did hear today that some fly is being shipped so that is a positive.

Pros

Good benefits (9% 401k match, company car, solid insurance). Huge company with many therapeutic areas you can choose from. I like my coworkers.

Cons

Employee stock purchase plan is nice in theory, but stock has treaded water for many years. A very big company with lots of big pharma metrics to meet. Pay is maybe slightly below industry average.

Pros

The company has an excellent, very collegial atmosphere. Employees are supported well and there is excellent support for most processes from numerous line functions.

Cons

Some processes as well as the governance structure can be a bit confusing. More so than other large pharma companies. But even with this. There are almost always enough people who know how to get things done.
