Pros

* Gain industry experience * Challenging Environment * Can use AMRI as an example of what NOT to do When asked about the Pros of AMRI, a manufacturing technician responded after a pause "Well.. the commute isn't bad"

Cons

*Very dishonest management/HR - promises are constantly thrown around regarding raises, bonuses, promotions, etc. in exchange for 70-80hr work weeks, but are always forgotten when it comes time to pay the piper. *High turnover among employees (even for the industry) - Everyone that is competent and motivated to advance is forced to leave due to burnout. The only ones that stay are those who "coast" *No direction since AMRI took over - Culture is very reactive instead of proactive. FDA observations are met with immediate, but poorly thought out solutions with no assessment of whether these commitments are actually possible. *No real training program. *Benefits are not on par with the industry *Micro-management *Uncertainty about future of company

Pros

Flexible schedule. ALL workers are kind, helpful, resourceful, and intelligent. There are bathrooms....

Cons

Don't do it. Don't apply. The morale has plummeted with every passing year. The current turnaround rate is 40% and steadily climbing, soon enough there won't be enough people to keep the place running. Unfair, low pay, with pathetic yearly increases. Constantly cutting corners, making it an unsafe facility to work in, mentally and physically. People are leaving every week, 2-5 a week. Many of the personnel that have left were thought to retire with the company. These were some of the senior members, 15-20 + years, with expertise in the field and department; they left due to the massive, negative, changes in the company and constant yelling (yes physical yelling & temper tantrums) from upper management. From the few years I've worked for this company, I can write many paragraphs of all the red flags that must be acknowledged prior to employment with Curia. Sometimes it feels that our pleads for help and worries to the management above are just jokes to the plethora of VPs and CEO (that's if they even make it up there - a lot of complaints die in the building because management are too afraid to speak up). They probably have a tally board or bingo sheet checking off all the complaints. Imagine being worked to the point of mental breakdowns? Physical illnesses? This is happening, and is here to stay.
