Pros

good benefits, flexible time, like the people I work with as a whole

Cons

favoritisms, never received greater than 2% increase despite high rating and many, many hours worked, some long time managers can't adjust to change and are bulldozers - good ol boy system alive and well

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.
