Pros

The work you're doing helps save and better lives every day. Most employees are great, helpful. Manufacturing in a pristine environment, cutting edge technology. Pay is among highest you'll find in Bloomington. Catalent really took care of employees during COVID- especially hourly or Manufacturing.

Cons

Bloomington's HR was the worst of the worst. People promoted for no reason other than being favorites, lack of response, cruelty, gossip, and it all stemmed from the top (locally.) Amazing things have happened at the site, but imagine how many more would have if the right person were employed instead of an adult version of a playground bully? To reward that behavior with MORE responsibility (and power) makes me rethink everything Catalent claims to stand for. Good luck. I was overworked and underpaid, but many are overpaid so I think that as long as you have the right person in your corner you'll be fine. Although one would never expect to be treated that way in a professional setting. PTO is mediocre at best.

Pros

Mostly good people trying to make a difference. There are a lot of opportunities to improve the business

Cons

I found there to be little to no work life balance. A normal week for me was over 60 hours. Accounting close / forecast week was well in excess of 80 hours for me. Some days the team was required to work 16 hours or more. I worked almost every weekend. I felt like it was always the company first. I felt like employees were expendable resources to meet short term goals.
