Pros

Better than most companies out there. Very reasonable and flexible with hours, which helps working families. They offer summer hours, start with 15 vacation days, 9 holidays and an additional week for a year end shut down.

Cons

Fear of layoffs and reorganization.

Pros

Work from home (that may not always be a perk, but it is now for writers), choice of flexible hours (7 AM - 9 AM starting), friendly, helpful people, great bosses, people very interested in their jobs, plus a lot of educational benefits, you are trained on all aspects of Merck and your job.

Cons

I cannot think of any, though sometimes work from home has its drawbacks, because the employee doesn't get all the information that an onsite employee would.
