Pros

Pension still offered. Other than that, it's a big zero.

Cons

Micromanagement at all levels of the company. Run by trial lawyer who puts handcuffs on anything that could help sell drugs. Bloated company which makes it impossible to change directions if it's needed. Political correctness runs the company to the nth degree. Lots of unrealistic expectations. Afraid to tackle real issues. Robot like mentality from the top down to the sales reps. Spend time taking policy tests and having teleconferences rather than selling in the field. Very disengages sales organization.

Pros

Great benefits and high salary, a lot of room for growth.

Cons

Experience depends highly on your manager and department. I worked my butt off and had an awful manager in a toxic department, but now I have an amazing manager in a much calmer department.
