Pros
Flexibility - as with any pharma job you basically make your own schedule (although the official hours are 8:30 - 5); decent car selection - Mercury Mariner is a nice little SUV; offer job share opportunities (but they are impossible to get)
Cons
They don't have any loyalty to their employees; no clue what layoffs are based on; 2 day manager ride alongs can be painful. Unrealistic goals. Entire nation doesn't reach goals they set and they MAY lower it so some can actually get paid. GSK's training is really hard and stressful compared to other pharma companies; very passable but lots of memorization and repeating back word for word.
