Good Starting Point

Pros

Good benefits packages provided to the employees

Cons

There is a lot of favoritism throughout the company. Who you’re friends with in the company will most likely get you further than your experience and work ethic.

ASPEX Compounder II

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Seniority is not the only factor when considering promotion to Compounder III or lead, so newer employees still have equal opportunity. There are opportunities to learn additional skills outside of just compounding. Collaboration with validation engineers, automation engineers, R&D, critical utilities maintenance, etc. Once initial training of washroom and fill lines is complete, assignments are typically different each day when compounding, so the work does not get repetitive. The work environment is fast paced and the people are great. 5 Broadbanding training books, can complete one per year for a 3% raise on top of merit increase.

Cons

Somewhat of a bottleneck within Compounding for moving up. Three shifts, two leads each shift, one supervisor each shift. Each shift has between 12-14 Compounders, so it takes time to move up within compounding.
