Pros

Benefits are competitive, and the pay is good for the area. The company is always driving improvements and gives employees latitude in their day to day work to be involved in the improvement projects. Perrigo as a global company demonstrates the value of employees by offering opportunities for outside training and tuition reimbursement. An internal nomination and award program exists for employees to reward each other for going above and beyond their normal work requirements. Employees are often awarded via this program. Employees also benefit through a company-wide bonus program.

Cons

The company does not do well in meshing acquired facilities with the global Perrigo culture. It has taken Perrigo several years to integrate my current facility into the global structure of the company, and although employees at the facility share the same benefits as all other Perrigo employees, there is a significant amount of driving done by the "old regime". The amount of resistance to some changes is not, in my opinion, in line with Perrigo's overall vision of continuous improvement and resulting "Quality Affordable Healthcare Products".

Pros

Diverse work environment Lots of variety in job requirements Decent wages Great company if you know someone. Nepotism here.

Cons

There is a formal training guideline that was never completed. We didn't even finish signing off after 6 months. This is for a basic entry level type position. It's not even a higher level position. The technical requirements for pharma are pretty complex. I finished my part but the follow through fell short for hands on experience. It wasn't important to train me so I felt like it wasn't important for me to be there. It was frustrating receiving directions from people who started on the same day as me. I feel like it was because of nepotism. Nepotism exists at this company. They weren't meeting their training on time and were giving me direction and providing me with training. Overall, the rewards couldn't justify the physical demands on my body. I felt frustrated and left incomplete as the only team member without family/friends connection in my anywhere. How did i get this job? I'm clueless about that. Didn't take criticism very well. Felt attacked by calls for action. Higher stress manufacturing environment.
