Pros

There are none, myself as well as most others are looking for new jobs

Cons

This place is so hostile, most worry if they will have a aob by te end of day. management goes out of their way to bully, harass and intimidate staff/ The SR Director even threatened all staff in a a meeting to black list us and prosecute us if we reported the violations to the FDA and DEA. HR directors have all quit and this place is a rotating door. They have fired people that had been only working here three weeks and they moved them from across country just fire them if they something they do not like. A pregnant woman was fired a few days after she notified them she was pregant and could not work around chemicals until after the birth of her child, because unless the fired her they could not replace her in the back. Over 30 people fired when they were ordered to work 30 plus days in a row with no days off for 10 to 12 hours a day and they could not handle it. they were all fired and temps were brought in. They make staff sign documents when they were not even working a couple of days later and threaten their job if they don't sign it, This place is insane. Everyone is looking to leave. What I see on the floor i am amazed the FDA and DEA has not seen what they hide during audits. Stay away

Pros

Good experience in a variety of methods. Peers are helpful.

Cons

Analysts are the bottom of the totem pole at this company and treated like minimum wage retail workers instead of intelligent individuals with high levels of education who are critical for operations. The culture has gone from work/life balance with flexible schedules to entering time by the minute and having it compared to badge swipes. Coworkers are virtually not allowed to speak to each other any longer, and upper management will quickly make everyone feel as though we'll all be fired if we so much as smile. In the past year, the joy of working for a company that used to feel like a family has turned into feeling like a mindless robot with no importance or value. I don't know a single employee in the lab who feels valued or happy any longer. The work culture has turned into a silent depression filled gloom.

Pros

It is hard to find anything that is a pro anymore. Any perks to the job has left.

Cons

You are GMPd, SOPd and Qualitied to death. Nitpicking like you've never seen and then a "critical error" to resize a box for example. This is no exaggeration and then it goes against your "metrics". No one has your back and management is too lazy to be bothered with it. We're all treated like children and every breath you take is monitored. You must account for every minute of an 8 hour day. Furthermore, if you even blink wrong someone will surely be there to tell on you like it's a kindergarten class. The gossip mill is out of control and this includes upper management. We are chewed out for something different every week and it makes it impossible to do your job. Additionally, there is no support at this company for growth. They want you to do one thing and that's it. No new training unless you want to do that on your own time or really fight for it ... Which speaking of, don't expect to have free time. You have to bend over backwards to please these people who just want more and more. If you're not a "favorite" then you're a nobody. If you're a nobody, you better watch your back.
