Pros

Decent Pay for factory work. Depends a lot however on which department your in. Benefits are very supportive and hard to turn away from.

Cons

How long of a list would you like...? - Theres an enormous "Snitches get stitches' Mentality. If you report someone for anything, Be prepared to get expelled from the social circle. Everyone is snoopy and nothing stays secret for long. - If you get injured you may as well kiss your job goodbye and look for work elsewhere. - I Like my job area, its the people who work it that make it a nightmare. - Management plays favorites often, Its a great place if your a behind kisser and a boot licker. You'll go far if you make the right friends in the right places.... which is typically higher up the ladder. - Perrigo's 'Project Energy' has basically cost people their jobs and they started getting picky choosy in other departments. If they felt you were even a little lazy they would pick you apart till they find a fire-able flaw or rapid fire write-ups till your out the door. Beware Plant 4 and plant 1 in that regard. - Plant 7 is very High school drama-esk. Dont trust anyone as far as you can throw them and rest assured if you stumble even once, some behind-kisser will 100000000% report you. People will start things for no reason so even if you never share your personal life someones gonna get bored and make something up about you just for the hell of it. - This year, Perrigo outraged Hundreds of employees in multiple plants by announcing that they will be pushing back yearly raise reviews till September, and there will be no accommodation or compensation for the months that follow after an employee's yearly 'started working here' anniversaries..Example, If you got hired in April several years ago, you typically get your yearly review in april and a raise. However Now its been pushed to September and you go months without your expected annual raise with no compensation or make up for it. Lots of people were upset and Perrigo management seemed uncaring about people's upset.

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.
