Pros
-Pay was good, as were the bonuses -Moderately stable amount of work -Decent amount of PTO time -Work from home capability (limited)
Cons
-Benefits kept getting stripped down every year and cost more to boot (UMR is garbage) -Heavy, heavy turnover -In recent years, kept around truly abyssmal employees through fear of lawsuits, but levy their own no problem -If you're a moderately attractive Account woman, prepare to fail upwards at a record pace. The incredibly vain President blatantly plays favorites -Weekend work is expected and planned for nearly 3/4 of the year due to Merck. Work/life balance is shot -Good people have been leaving voluntarily or are pushed out of the company by catty and manipulative Merck Account people who wield entirely too much power -Bad employees hang around and push their work off on the good ones who are still around -Advancement opportunities are very low since the company isn't growing and it's the only way to keep direct reports in existence -Gladstone President's unchecked ego and feigned sincerity when work concerns are raised
