great company wonderful people to work for growth opportunities

Perform teller transactions and maintenance accounts
Wonderful experience with fellow employees
Easy to advance in your career

The management team that I dealt with treated me with a tremendous amount of respect for just being an intern. They also allowed me to work on projects as if I were a full time employee. An overall wonderful experience.

A physically demanding job that requires continuous training. I learned in order for my job to be successful it requires planning and time management. Management and co-workers work together to create a productive and welcoming environment. The hardest part of the job is maintaning consistant standards for productivy and in doing so makes it enjoyable.

For all of the talent they acquire, it is a shame how much is wasted on menial, mundane tasks. Conservative culture breeds and extenuates this mode of operating.

Merck is the kingdom of low morale, fear and paranoia. The higher management seems to promote it. People are assigned so much work to do they can barely cope with it. There so much "back stabbing", you cannot call it competition anymore. The most enjoyable part of the job is lunch and when you leave the site. Period.

Great and friendly people there. And just a all around Great company to work for.

The hardest part of the job is trying to get changes to procedures approved.

Great benefits, room for Advancement, Great people to work with

As one of America's most admired companies, Merck provided an excellent opportunity for professional growth, had exceptional benefits and above average pay.

The position I was in the last 15 years at Merck was an extremely busy position. Confidentiality, efficiency, ready to switch gears at a moment's notice were all a part of the job. All of my co-workers were as dedicated to their jobs as I was. It seemed to be how all of the Merck employees came to their job every day.

I experienced support and excellent training as I developed as a sales professional.

Developed policy positions on a range of topics for senior managers representing Merck on PhRMA committees.

If you like working for places that are short staffed and so they use you and cram as much of a workload onto you as possible then work here. No good benefits, there are a lot of cliques and favorites. Should have been more professional given their reputation.
