Pros

safe and clean place to work, solid benefits package, still offer a pension plus a match of 4.5% in the 401k. Company matches charitable donations to tons of charities.

Cons

Since this is such a large company, there are some inefficiencies that are inherent to a large plant site. Overall, I think that this is managed reasonably, but just something to be aware of, if you normally work at smaller offices.

Pros

Work from home (that may not always be a perk, but it is now for writers), choice of flexible hours (7 AM - 9 AM starting), friendly, helpful people, great bosses, people very interested in their jobs, plus a lot of educational benefits, you are trained on all aspects of Merck and your job.

Cons

I cannot think of any, though sometimes work from home has its drawbacks, because the employee doesn't get all the information that an onsite employee would.
