Pros

Great coworkers and attentive supervisor-level management at the time before the expansion happened.

Cons

Not fairly compensated for a required degree-holding position, 2nd shift (including our super) was practically abandoned by upper management and left to flounder by 1st shift with little to no obligation on their part to smoothly transition work, leaving 2nd shift scrambling and often staying much later. The fact that the products were used as life-saving treatments for rare diseases etc was subtly but constantly used by upper management to guilt operators over mistakes. The lab techs and operators literally make the products but are treated very poorly by the company while office workers and management are celebrated at every chance and shown to be the face of the company online. Training was minimal as the company grew and practically non-existent now. Standards for operators increasingly grew less stringent and contributed to more workload for more competent employees as production increased as there were both more mistakes made by poor employees and production took longer. The "audit-ready" mentality is gross and weird to advertise as a pro of working at the company. Audits and tours constantly slowed down production and we were often told to "look busy" or not allowed to work on some production tasks like paperwork because they didn't look good and productive from an outside view.
