Pros

Good vacation but you can't take it because of all the fire drills. No work life balance.

Cons

If you are part of "yes" crowd and good old boys network , you will be promoted. If you have been with the company for a long time, you are targeted for termination. HR is not your friend but they certainly know how to cover up discrimination cases. They bring over French employees and make the american employees train them before terminating the American employee. The French employees live high on the hog and contribute nothing.

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!
