Pros

- No previous experience in the field required, easy to get in and gain experience. - Biannual bonuses **See disclaimer below** - Great co-workers (at least in my department). - Biomanufacturing manager is pleasant. - Consistent hours (at least for lab techs). - PTO accumulation rate is acceptable. - Some room to move up, considering company growth rate. **Bonuses will only be received if you have not put in your resignation prior to funds being distributed. I learned this the hard way, as I was assured I would still receive a bonus after putting in my 2-weeks notice (which I did not). I blame HR and Finance for this bit of misinformation. So my pro tip is: don't quit until after bonuses are paid out.**

Cons

- Hourly wage is too little for a 4-year degree. - Many growing pains at this point in time, not very many people know what is going on in regards to projects, production, etc. - Upper management (I'm not talking about production management) is rather aloof, and doesn't deign to meet the people working for them.

Pros

You work with some great, intelligent people that create generally a good work environment.

Cons

The company will do anything possible to screw over its employees. Drastic unannounced pay cuts, forced movement to different departments or shifts, complete shifts in manufacturing culture with poor long term thought put into any decision. Complete disregard by upper management to connect with the employees that make them look good. Lack of actual concern for safety of employees despite a "Safety first mentality." I could go on and on about little things and decisions made by those in charge that push the employees actually doing all the actually work as far as possible to quitting or becoming disillusioned with their work. If you are thinking of joining manufacturing team, don't. Find another company in a better area that actually pays what their employees are worth and treats them with respect.

Pros

We support important research and development for new treatments of rare diseases. The company has a good handle on what makes our business special in that regard.

Cons

Management teams are actively cutting communication to lower employees. Searching for answers or status of projects is near impossible with all the red tape. Backfills for positions have also been rejected so teams with less communication are also understaffed.
