Pros

The pay was good for the local area where it was located. Benefits were decent. You got to know many people, because it still had that small company feel even though they were part of a large corporation.

Cons

There is waaaay too much favoritism and nepotism. I've seen many, many good people let go or not promoted. Even if you worked hard and long hours, and obtained results, you would be put in the bottom of the bucket at review time because a certain percentage had to go there, no matter what each year. People that were promoted were not qualified, had poor management skills, and even worse people skills! Many times, they didn't promote from within.

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!
