Pros

It has been a steady and dependable job in the past 4 years. The job market has been good to Thermo Fisher. I personally believe that with the company showing more respect and being consistent with what they say and do, it will only strengthen the company's success.

Cons

It seems that management is always trying to point fingers of blame at the hourly workers. Yes, we should all take some blame in our failures, but not all of it. The management runs the daily operations. They promise the customers a product , but can't seem to manage the time.The company needs to learn the true meaning of "Time Management"

Pros

If you're stuck in the Greenville area for some unfortunate reason, it's a job.

Cons

This place is functionally a mafia. The same rotating cast of "old head" people that have been at the site for decades watches each other's backs, and overworks everyone else. God help you if you're actually capable or smart, because they will overload you as much as possible, while ensuring that they, and their pals, do as little as possible. They really have no concept of capacity management at all. There is no math, metrics, or even mild logic that goes in to how they define R&R or distribute work. No one really knows how to do anything at all. Things that sound simple, like shipping a sample for instance.. Well, clear your afternoon. It doesn't help that all of their systems are completely antiquated. I should also note that you won't get any support on anything really, from training to execution. No one wants to be here, and it's so obvious. The place looks and feels like a prison because it is. It doesn't even pay that well compared to other pharma companies! That barbed wire isn't there to keep people out, it's to keep them in.
