Pros

A progressive company that backs it's people and delivers on promises. You can progress with Novartis and achieve any goal you aim for. People care. Policies are sound. and expectations are discussed. Management listens. (what a concept)

Cons

large territories, lots of driving in some parts of the country. Not enough hours to really get the job done, th eresearch and data crunching done, and the paperwork. You have to be committed to building this career or it is a waste of your time (like any career).

Pros

Good Pay Flexible Hours but alot of computer work (manager) depending on your manager Great Benefits

Cons

They move you around to different territories and change products on you yearly Promotional opportunities are not there. This is a shrinking industry and manager jobs are few and far between. Sales goals are usually out of reach, and the pressure to attain them is always there.
