Why would you want to work for GSK?

The company reached a civil settlement with the U.S. federal government in which it agreed to pay a fine of $3 billion.

The plea represented the largest health care fraud settlement in U.S. history. It resolved allegations of pricing fraud.

Companies pretend to change but they really don't. Cheating is embedded in GSK DNA.
You have other choices to work for.
 












Why would I want to make a good salary with great benefits, working 20 hours a week? The answer is because I can pick up my kids and spend afternoons at my own business…
 












Nice salary, bonus, company vehicle, health insurance, 401K with 11% match, generous vacation with a week off at the holidays. Yes, we have to tolerate inept leadership, but I ignore them. I do my job and work hard. Layoff hits, I'll find another job.

a healthy heroin addiction is probably the only good reason to work for GSK.
 






In all honesty, the people that work for GSK:

1. Ignorant people that don't realize that the pharmaceutical industry is among the most corrupt industry, if the the most corrupt industry in the world.
2. People that put money above everything else in life.
3. Sociopaths.
 






#6. 4% dollar for dollar. Then 7% core contribution. It's 11%. You weren't even aware, were you? Go look outside this company. Not everyone gets a week off at the holidays, not even in our own industry. You get a hell of a deal on the car they offer. Yes, we have a horrible leadership culture that cannot get out of its own way. Just put your head down and do your best. You make a heck of a nice living with a lot of perks.

I wasn’t aware of 7% core contributions.

Reading this, I thought you talking about working for the government! Mention an industry that is free and clear and I will tell you to quit living under a rock! This is capitalism as we all know it! It feeds my family and buys me stuff I need and want. If you find the kitchen hot, then leave.

Loser.
You should have got a degree in something that mattered.
There are many jobs that pay what you make that are a professional career, not some loser sales rep in pharma.

they just treat their employees like crap, year in and year out. nothing ever changes. going on interviews in pharmaceuticals sales is the most painful experience that a person can endure.

I did (I am embarrassed to admit) about 10-15 years in the industry. I have an MBA from a good school, and won multiple awards on a national level. Yet, when I was downsized, it was always impossible to get another job in the industry. Why is that? It is absurd for me to get turned down for 10-20 jobs at a time with my track record. I know it was because they want to hire people in their 20s and 30s on the cheap. So, I moved on and have less stress and make about the same money.

Here is something that always bothered me about this industry: they would always make you think that you have so much to improve on and bring me down during the annual evaluations....people should stop and think about why they do that...it is because it is a good form of control and a way to make you think you have to work harder for this "great" job. Annual evaluations are total nonsense.

It is not a great job.

It is terrible.

Smart people just don't stay in this industry either. No way.

Investment management at a mid size private development company. While with GSK in account sales I completed my masters in finance. While working on the masters met a HR person in the new firm. Worked a little over one year in sales before moving into investment management.
