Pros

The benefits are amazing, the insurance is a little expensive due to it being a smaller company but you get at least 14 paid holidays off per year in addition to the three weeks of vacation per year you start accumulating as soon as you start. The 401K matching is great! Management is not as bad as some of the post make it seem. When you work with pharmaceuticals you cannot just change a process overnight, it has to go through a validation process which takes time. Also, the easy way isn't always the best way. The company prefers to promote from within and if you are over qualified for your current position supervisors and HR will help you move up when the opportunity arises.

Cons

The pay is a little low but the benefits are a part of compensation. The company is growing faster than it was prepared for so there are growing pains that sometimes include a lack of organization. There are production inconsistencies between manufacturing shifts that doesn't appear to have been addressed as of yet.

Pros

Many opportunities for advancement and on-the-job learning. Benefits are fantastic with a 9% total 401K match, great health insurance with an employer HSA match, education assistance, and more. People are really wonderful, and management cares about employee well-being. The company is growing and has been moving in positive directions in my time there. Change is slow, but there are always changes in progress, so it feels like something new is happening all the time. I love my job and my team is incredible. I recommend Tolmar to anyone who asks me about it.

Cons

Production and workflows can be a little disorganized, with last-minute changes. The pay is competitive for Colorado, but low compared to bigger pharma hubs for a lot of positions. Company development is slow (as is true much of the time in pharma). Some positions are repetitive and labor-intensive, and have high turnover that makes work challenging for people that stay on.

Pros

Career devlopment is a huge plus with this company. There is a lot of opportunities to learn new things and develop skills that will serve you well in the pharma spaceq Pay and benefits are also pretty solid.

Cons

Management was inexperienced and consistently difficult to work with within all departments. Good management is a rarity in this company. Manufacturing scheduling and processes were all over the place and often delayed. All essential departments were consistently under staffed and turnover was high. The expectations around work output were unrealistic and exhausting. Everything is urgent and high priority, and they expect you to compensate for poor scheduling and poor retention rates.
