Pros

Stable company, Stable business, Stable and Growing revenue stream. In the same core business for the last 120 years, Corporate headquarters at the same location for the last 120 years. Management seems to know what they are doing - company does not have a new strategy every year. No Management Consultants, no Mission Statements, No Reorganizations. Good Mid-Western work ethic.

Cons

Location unsuitable for most people from the coasts or big cities. Horrible winters in Western Michigan. Fiscally conservative company - no fancy offices or perks. No free coffee in the break rooms!

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.
