Business outlook
Pros
Paycheck and lifestyle. As with most pharma companies, you can expect to be micro-managed, but at least Schering is still using paper for signitures so you can't be tracked like a UPS man.
Cons
The pharma industry in general. Layoffs are and will be happening more and more. The way I look at Schering, and the entire pharmaceutical industry, is that they have you trapped. What I mean is, they pay nice salaries, give you a car, good benefits. But management is constantly on top of you when bogus market sahre numbers come down which in most cases you can't even control. This is NOT a true sales job. You are very rarely selling anything. Now you are lucky to get more than 2 minutes with a doctor and you are definitely not respected.
