Pros
Great benefits, safe and friendly working environment, admirable corporate culture, very little age/sex discrimination, on site fitness facilities, and a true sense that each individual employee matters. We make hundreds of high quality products that positively affect millions (if not billions) of people and animals worldwide, and the focus on quality and regulatory requirements are stiff and unwavering (as it should be). Pay is acceptable albeit below market.
Cons
New CEO doesn’t fit the estanlished/prior corporate culture. He is cold and impersonal, as opposed to our last two CEOs who were more visible, engaging, and confidence-builders. Many of us employees are carefully watching his actions and tone to see if it’s going to be worth sticking it out while he gets fully “acclimated” . I’m hopeful, but doubtful. External purchasing: this function was moved from the USA to Dublin Ireland, and maneuvering through any external process issue has been frustrating to say the least. Time zone differences combined with vague and indifferent communication are causing significant service impact to our customers and frustrations for those in supply chain/QA functions. Either fix it now, or move it back to the States ASAP.
