Pros

Not really applicable; maybe decent benefits

Cons

This position is not for college graduates; it is for someone looking for janitorial work. * Upper management (C-level executives) mandates changes in work schedules for employees without previously discussing them. * Pay is poor and does not meet the market average. * Management (C-level executives) spends more time trying to take negative Glassdoor postings down than they do on employee retention. * The work environment is not safe and does not meet OSHA or EPA standards, as the room used for dispensing harmful and volatile solvents does not have proper ventilation. * Most of the work in this position is janitorial work, so you will be mopping the floors, cleaning glassware, and taking out the trash daily. * Concerns brought to management (C-level executives) are ignored and shoved under the rug. * The position does not offer a good work-life balance. * No opportunity for upward movement in the company unless you brown-nose management (C-level executives) because their only concern is minimizing their costs. * Raises and bonuses are given on a bell curve, so in order for someone to get a larger raise, another person needs to receive a lower raise. * Biweekly meetings with direct supervisors (C-level executives) never happen, as supervisors are more concerned with their own personal agenda than managing their supervisees. * Management (C-level executives) uses a lot of smoke and mirrors and never gives employees straight answers regarding changes in the company.

Pros

Great benefits, there’s flexibility when you need it, and the’s a significant amount of PTO. There is a lot of growth and development opportunities, as in learning new skills or strengthening skills.

Cons

There is a lot of restructuring happening, which often results in teams having to do the work of many without being compensated appropriately. This results in longer days, burn out, and feeling undervalued. There is a lot of encouragement for growth, but the actual growth/promotion part doesn’t seem to happen from leadership side. There is a lot of room for process improvements but too many teams work in silos and don’t want to work together so processes don’t get improved.

Thank you for sharing your experience, and for your continued commitment to MilliporeSigma over more than three years. We are glad that the benefits, flexibility, PTO, and learning opportunities have been meaningful to you. We are sorry that recent changes have affected your day-to-day experience. As a company with a long-term perspective and a strong sense of responsibility towards our people, organizational changes are never taken lightly. We are mindful that the impact on workload and team dynamics can feel significant at an individual level, and we understand that the experience on the ground does not always reflect the full picture of what those decisions are intended to achieve. Your points about career development follow-through and cross-team collaboration are noted, and we continue to work on improving how we support employees through change, how we deliver on development commitments, and how we enable better ways of working across teams. As a current employee, we would encourage you to share your experience through our Employee Engagement Survey, as your input directly helps shape the priorities we focus on.
