Pros

There may be some positives to with at themo. I experienced none of these positives when working under Derek Niece. He is a sociopath.

Cons

1st week... You will get to stay until 11pm on a Friday night so that you are made aware you're not the boss and have to miss one of your best friends weddings. You'll get to stay at work until 10pm regularly because Derek has "standards". You will not get to leave work until Derek walks out of his office and says "alright let's go", which is usually around 7pm. If you do not conform...Derek will pretend you are not doing your job adequately and try turn turn everyone against you. Like I said previously...He is a sociopath. Even after working 60 to 80 hours a week for him for 3 years, you will not be allowed to transfer to another division within your organization with recognition of how much you accomplished or how hard you worked. You will have to take a demotion because you were not "one of them", even though no one wants to be like him. I can easily get between 10 and 20 people to corroborate every aspect of the post. Please tempt me

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.
