Pros

Good pay, health cover, pension, great cameraderie amongst co-workers and immediate team leaders.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations. Too few staff which mean some staff end up working 16 hour days to meet targets. The last time I checked that was against the law. Aggressive mercenary style management who stay for two or three years, bully everyone and then leave for another company with more experience added to their CV. Lots of miserable employees tied to the company by the golden handcuffs of the pay and benefits. You would be better off working somewhere else that is less stressful for less money. Note to any new college graduate: Start working somewhere else when you finish college as this place would put you off working for life. Find somewhere where you can utilise your creative talents rather than be worked to the bone in order to line the pockets of rich shareholders.

Pros

You Learn a lot about GMP/Pharmaceutical Industry since its heavily regulated by the FDA. The pay is good for the position.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for career advancement, particularly for contractors. Training is generally restricted to the specific process equipment required for assigned tasks, with little opportunity for broader skill development. Additionally, the workplace culture can be challenging. Some long-tenured employees appear to feel entitled to treat others disrespectfully, creating a toxic work environment. Their seniority often seems to shield them from accountability, as concerns raised with management frequently go unaddressed. There also appears to be a lack of diversity and inclusion, which contributes to workplace microaggressions, disrespectful behavior, and an environment where not all employees feel equally valued or respected. There is limited opportunity for contractors being hired on a full time basis, they have to leave the company for six months before they can be hired back! No company benefits for contractors!
