Pros

It is a large company offering career advancement, good benefits, promotes continual internal training for job descriptions and tuition reimbursement

Cons

The work load has become very heavy making it hard to balance work and family. Merck is a global company and many jobs previously in the US are now outsourced overseas. The jobs in the US are not as secure as in the past.

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.
