Pros

There aren't any to speak of

Cons

If you'd like to sacrifice all of your own life, this is the job for you! Got hired as a research scientist? Congrats, you're now also a QA specialist, a manager and a professional punching bag for the incompetent management they've put into place because they can't keep employees. Also. Exciting news! You'll be horrendously underpaid for all of this. If you're into it, this could be the place for you.

Pros

Decent pay, great benefits, experience to put on a resume.

Cons

Bad communication across the board. You get thrown right in with lack of training and guidance. Micro team was full of misogyny. They welcome new ideas but never implement them. The team is stubborn and refuses to change for the better. They think they are operating fine. Overworked because they are critically understaffed. They keep people that cripple the team because of this and this causes an employee retention issue. 75% of the time you are in the manufacturing area instead of the lab doing microbiology testing…makes no sense.

We have taken a heightened focus with leadership development through seminars, focus groups, and training to rectify less than positive sentiments. Again, we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us and bringing your concerns to our attention.

Pros

Peers are great, helpful and friendly. Good place to gain some experience right out of college.

Cons

After AMRI was purchase by Private Equity everything went down hill fast. The culture changed almost overnight. Employees went from enjoying their work and feeling appreciated to not. When employees would bring up issues or concerns they are told that they are not true and not to talk about them. AMRI Buffalo, handled COVID19 terribly in my opinion. They forced 9am-5pm employees to either work 6am-2pm or 3-pm-11pm and many were not given a choice which shift to work. They told us to be thankful we still had jobs and our only option was to work our assigned shift or quit. Buffalo location acts as a revolving door, which puts a lot of stress and additional burden on the employees who are constantly training new people and still expected to put out the same amount work as if they are not training. Poor leadership at Buffalo, NY Not a place to build a career Company lacks direction Salary is low considering all the extra hours worked.
