Company Vehicles at GSK

Can anyone tell me what the choices are? Are there any SUVs? Any 4WD vehicles?

 

You can choose from the Chevy Spark or the Kia Rio. No SUVs or AWD.

 

Back when I used to work here about 5 years ago, it was a Mazda 3 or Mercury Mariner/Ford Escape. A big/tall person could qualify for a larger car, like the Ford Explorer.

 

Ford Taurus, Ford Escape or Ford Edge are choices now. 4 wheel drive if you live in snow area

 

A good hint from an old timer. When you order your car, spend the $19.95 on the heavy duty trunk hinges. Well worth the cost and they can be removed by hand and installed in future company cars in moments.

 

You are either really old or really not funny

 

Are there other options for us big-boned gals? I can't fit in any of those other options mentioned.

 

Yep, I remember the heavy duty hinges and they were very silent also. It was Ford models only ,but now they have changed and bolt them in. PS / to big-boned : it is pitiful that you now need a F-150 !

 

Thank you for the information.

 

Ask an old timer if you can find any......last century they offered Buick, Olds, Toyota, etc. That was of course SKB.

 

SKB rewarded reps and made us a proud bunch ! We were known as a kick-butt company.

 

a few things to know if you are thinking about ordering the Edge - Does not come with a power lift rear hatch (no inside button to open, no key fob button, manually open only), cloth seats are standard, heated seats only available if you order leather ($2500 out of pocket),

 

Anyone know if there is an option to do a car allowance ?

 

SKB offered that , along with many other options. We ruled.

 

You mean Fat Girls? Answer: NO!

 

There are no fat pharmaceutical reps. Well, I know of only one.

 

Not at gsk

 

Ford Eco-Sport is being added this fall. It is a little smaller then the Escape but comes with all the bells and whistles. It is an option for employees who want a compact SUV, especially those who have city territories.

 

Especially good in the city because you can pick it up and park them in tight parking spaces.

 

So true! Cost constraints.
