Former Employee – worked at Allergan

Pros – - Decent Pay when you are a top performer
- Stock Options as you get promoted to higher levels
- Individual accountability is an organizational ideal

Cons – - Work/life balance non-existant for sales management.
- accountability is enforced in the salesforce but not often in the senior leadership team
- not enough communication/teamwork between sales & marketing

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

Current Employee – been working at Allergan

Pros – The company as a whole is doing well which is great for job security. They offer very good benefits and are always building their portfolio with drugs being developed yearly.

Cons – The downside to working here is that recognition for a job well done is hard to come by. As far as promotions go there is no such thing. You interview for job spots that have opened up. Putting in the hours doesn't get you noticed.

Advice to Senior Management – Even though these are rough economic times a little gesture of goodwill toward your employees goes a long way.
