Pros

Pay meets or beats current market for similar positions. Good benefits and employee perks like gym memberships and other discounts.

Cons

Peak production times require shift work including nights and weekends which can intrude on personal time. Understaffing and turnover are a problem as well.

Pros

Very people focused. Lots of opportunities for growth. Leading the industry in life science innovation. Pay is good and above average but that is relative to your role. ( for example As a production engineer at a chemical plant I was relatively underpaid because other petrochemical companies can simply pay more than a life science company for doing the same job)

Cons

Bayer may have bit more than they could chew with the purchase of Monsanto. It is now a massive conglomerate trying to manage some assets that just don’t make sense for a company that is traditionally a pharmaceutical giant. I was employed at a 24/7 continuously operated chemical production facility. Operation of such is much different than operating a pharmaceutical plant. Operation decisions would come from upper management that just didn’t make sense for our type of facility.
