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

Extensive and active employee resource groups, strong leadership development opportunities, clear company mission, gig opportunities that support career development, strong employee support through the ombuds office and compliance help line, and stable company portfolio.

Cons

No work-life balance considerations with hybrid work model, contradictions in company mission compared to policies (i.e., target to reduce carbon emissions with employee commuting to office as one of the top 5 causes but yet still requiring employees to commute to office 3 days a week), some office sites are not conducive to in office productivity (not enough privacy or space), compensation package is not competitive for MA pharmaceutical companies, long-term incentives have almost no value once they are vested, health care benefits require employees to jump through hoops to maximize discounts or qualify for coverage of certain medications, and accountability for department leadership to follow the corporate leadership pillars is inconsistent across departments.
