CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

At the nexus of pharmaceutical discovery, development and manufacturing.

Cons

Large pharmaceutical customers can dictate margins and place uncompensated demands on contractors. Exodus of talent and pervasive dissatisfaction among customers underscores poor executive leadership and commitment to customer satisfaction. Managment selfishly embraces a blame mentality and lacks a focus on rational, root cause analysis as part of their problem-solving approach.

Business Outlook

Pros

Team Fun always had something planned for both major and minor holidays which made things a little more bearable

Cons

Compensation is low and sites in different locations/specialties pay when others aren't doing well. Our site was constantly overworked and understaffed but because other sites weren't pulling their weight, a subset of employees from our site were laid off even though those hands were generally needed.
