I wouldn't recommend going to work at PNY - Engineer Perrigo Employee Review

Pros

The people on the floor were really sweet. Compensation was about average; benefits above average. Good career opportunities if you were willing to relocate around the country, which is great.

Cons

I couldn't really put my finger on why I hated going to work every day until I had the blessing of working at my current company, so here it goes. First and foremost, the work/life balance at PNY is horrendous. At previous companies, when I worked a 60 hour week, it was greatly appreciated - I've even received a Thank You note at a previous company (which, I admit, is a little above and beyond). But at PNY, 60 hour weeks were the expectation - no smiles, no thank you's - and that can be stressful in itself. There was also a lot of yelling and screaming on a daily basis - maybe not directly at me - but it does have an influence on your mental health when that's what you're exposed to every day. Last but not least, things were never really done properly - 99% firefighting; 1% creative work. I never had the opportunity to properly do a project start to finish - even our 'presentations' were just a bunch of words on one or two white slides - very unprofessional in my opinion. At my new company, I'm starting projects with an A3, a time study, and a PFMEA - and, in my opinion, that makes things way way way easier down the road - and is the way I enjoy working.

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.
