Why would you want to work for GSK?

Well, you are wasting your time on what you claim as an embarrassing joke. You are an embarrassment with really nothing significant to say except ride on this. You are a joke!

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.

Get answer… if you do this job correctly it’s not brain surgery and is basically like being partially retired
 












Ok drug reps we have to explain this to you:

1. Scrubs - Super Pathetic

2. Halloween Costumes - pathetic

3. Bunny Outfit during Easter/Passover - Genius

4. Cheerleader outfit with pigtails - I’ll RX anything you want. Wait it’s GSK old and fat women never mind!

Get back to your Cheeto dusted testicles you masterbating cubicle cafe Pharma troll!
 






























Word on da street is....Nucala reps to be forced ranked. Word is...end of year re-org. Word from da inside is...over 55 will be "offered" packages. If you got your financial $hit in order this may be the last time to cash in. Things never seem to change at this company.
 






If you get a chance, run away and never look back. It's like Sodom and Gomorrah and if you desire to be part of this sick dysfunction and your career and soul will be turned into a pillar of salt.
 






There is a lot of exaggeration in the last post. There is also a lot of truth. Those of us who remain have sold a piece of our souls. A company car and benefits was the price. I will be retiring next year. I'm lucky I guess. There has been so much unnecessary stress placed on us. Unattainable sales goals that when not achieved result in some sort of punitive response from the company. Leaders who are spineless and afraid to speak truth to power. Nepotism from the top down. One of the most humiliating experiences was something called Patient First. Where people were cheating on exams issued by the company. Exams that were impossible to pass. It was a true game of Survivor. Jeff Probst should could have been running the show. Except there were not immunity idols. We were never given the results of those exams. Just told "you fell into to middle of the pack". People were placed on Performance Improvement Plans and some lost their jobs. This initiative was brought about by "leadership" committing overt criminal acts both in the U.S. and in other countries. As far as I know, not one leader in our organization was fired. Not one of them took any of the ridiculous tests we were made to take or suffered any humiliation the way we did. Yes, we all sold our souls. A few bucks and a company car was all it took to give up our dignity. And none of us, NONE OF US, can ever regain it. Everyone in the industry knows what we did. Shame is an understatement. My hope is that GSK is bought and dismantled piece by piece. Leadership here is completely toxic and the only way to change it is to get rid of the lot. I'm 62 and will be leaving next year. Wish I had better things to say about the company I worked at for the past 33 years. Best wishes to all.

Gsk became more and more toxic after the merger between Glaxo and SmithKline Beecham. in 2000. It's hard to tell what the root cause of the entirety of the problem was that caused a once top pharmaceutical firm to turn into a 2nd class organization. There were so many mistakes from executive management. Poor drug discovery, poor marketing, poor lack of self awareness. GSK's story compared to other prominent pharma firms is not all to different. The break off firms from big pharma in bio tech do okay, if you consider raping the U.S. healthcare industry and patients okay.
Today I laugh when I hear STEM. What a joke. The company that runs STEM must have some deep connections for pharma to use this P.O.S. strategy. You certainly seel your soul for a company care, good salary, bonus and expense account to feed your family. As an employee you have to live with your decisions.

#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.

#56 nailed it. GSK US Pharma sales and marketing has been complete rot since 2009 at the latest. Proven unfixable and everyone there knows it.
How such a hopelessly inept situation has continued this long is the only true success story.
