Pros

- You get to meet the patients you serve - The products are interesting and have a real place in medicine - Pay is competitive

Cons

- Management in genetics no longer cares about the people they serve; they only care about protecting their position and handing out plum posts to their friends. - Genetics commercial is an operational nightmare. It is a miracle that they can manage to get drug shipped. - Strategy is totally misguided and reflects how out of touch genetics management is with reality - Too many people have not experienced other companies and do not realize how far behind the times they really are. - Upper management keeps hiring unnecessary people to chase unrealistic goals and the lack of real responsibility among various stakeholders is creating infighting and turf battles. - It is very hard to hold employees accountable because of the lack of role clarity and unrealistic objectives. - Career opportunities are surprisingly bad in house and there are no opportunities for development for field employees.

Pros

You Learn a lot about GMP/Pharmaceutical Industry since its heavily regulated by the FDA. The pay is good for the position.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for career advancement, particularly for contractors. Training is generally restricted to the specific process equipment required for assigned tasks, with little opportunity for broader skill development. Additionally, the workplace culture can be challenging. Some long-tenured employees appear to feel entitled to treat others disrespectfully, creating a toxic work environment. Their seniority often seems to shield them from accountability, as concerns raised with management frequently go unaddressed. There also appears to be a lack of diversity and inclusion, which contributes to workplace microaggressions, disrespectful behavior, and an environment where not all employees feel equally valued or respected. There is limited opportunity for contractors being hired on a full time basis, they have to leave the company for six months before they can be hired back! No company benefits for contractors!
