Cons

Hard to get promoted, inconsistent recognition across organization

Advice to Senior Management

Moot, as company was bought by Pfizer.

Pros

Iftar district managers were the highlight of king. Real people with sales experience but not too far removed from the field to understand the concerns of sales reps

Cons

Company was primed to be sold And management was kept in the dark about everything so the leadership from the top down could not inform the sales force of anything

Advice to Senior Management

There is nothing you can do when the big boys decide that they are going to sell the company and tell no one of their intentions

Pros

great bosses. good work. good exposure

Cons

downsides of working at King Pharmaceuticals are that there is no growth, deadlines are tight. lack of clarity on vision and too much stress on bottom line.

Pros

Vacation is good and bonuses were good prior to 2008, after that bonuses were completely restricted and not possible to achieve.

Cons

I was given one job to do by C-level executive management, but the top C-levels of the company didn't agree with what was done. As a result they came after me, even though direct supervision thought I was doing a good job as instructed. Somewhat of a short-sighted and ruthless approach. Overall, I liked the people and area I worked with, not impressed with most senior levels.

Advice to Senior Management

They hire professionals to do the job and shouldn't use fear and intimidation to get the job done. people know that business has challenges and that tough decisions need to be made, but personal attacking does not help overall morale.

The management that's been in place for years is incompetent

Pros

The benefits are good. King seems to be concerned with employees work/life balance and allows employees some flexibility with their schedules. King has been making efforts to promote healthy lifestyle by implementing exercise gyms and annual health screenings.

Cons

Lack of communication between key personnel. Management gets treated much better than the regular employees. Have gone through numerous layoffs and it can be pretty stressful.

Advice to Senior Management

King is on the right path. Keep personnel informed during large projects or upcoming major projects. When management is on edge, it makes for a poor work environment.
