Look Elsewhere

Operator

Business Outlook

Pros

Straight-forward work. Mostly great friendly co-workers.

Cons

Employees are seen as just replaceable workhorses churning out maximum profits for the company. Hard-working lab workers seen as an expense by management rather than part of the Aldevron team, low respect. Look for work elsewhere in the Fargo-Moorhead area if possible.

Changes of Leadership Causing Negative Reactions from Staff

Gmp biomanufacturing operator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pay Paid holidays off Good benefits/insurance

Cons

Negative attitudes all around, from leaders and staff. Lots of disregard for doing things the "Aldevron way", rather people (especially those who have been with the company a while) want to do things "their way" and this has formed into an almost clique-like situation. This needs to be monitored more closely as new hires are being trained the "operator's way" instead of what Aldevron is paying them to do. With new leadership there is a major sense of being treated as if we are in the military. Being forced to sign new contracts, facing new shift changes and not being allowed to have weekends off anymore. People are getting upset/burnt out and talking about leaving. A lot of people (with degrees!!!) chose to work here specifically to have a "normal" M-F work schedule and it's all about to change.
