          Former Employee - Territory Sales Manager 
          Doesn't Recommend

          I worked at Allergan full-time

          Pros

          It was good before the surprise lay-off. I had a great manager and coworkers.

          Cons

          Who does surprise layoffs? It was pretty brutal. They had two rounds in one year in my division which released half the salesforce. I’ve heard it’s never been the same.
