Pros

Middle of the road for pay, good benefits/rewards package that the employee can affect the price of by participating in the wellness program, tons of shift options available and management is VERY flexible with starting times in the laboratory setting.

Cons

High risk of pigeonholing here. HR is more interested in what degree you're holding than what you can actually do. For the laboratory job I had, I fully believe anyone with a GED could be taught to do it, yet they "prefer" a bachelor's degree. This is overkill and completely unnecessary. I wanted to move to another department outside of laboratory work but was told I didn't have the proper degree and instead chose to leave because I was extremely burnt out.

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.
