Pros

Provides stable employment. The company is in a growth phase. Great location. There are people here who care and would like to make positive changes. They just need a culture where it can happen!

Cons

Last year the company earned a "windfall" (10 times the expected profit for the year) due to unusual circumstances in the market and hard work from the employees to shift priorities to meet market demand. This huge profit is not being shared with employees nor is it being used to improve systems used in the day to day business. Employees are not treated with respect. There is an atmosphere of fear and finger pointing. From what I understand this culture is handed down from the CEO. Lack of flexibility. Employees are often expected to work overtime. Flexible schedules and/or comp. time is not allowed. Part-time positions aren't allowed. Working from home is rarely allowed- only for a select few and typically only after you've worked your normal workday. No employee recognition program. Wages are below average for the work performed and the company size.

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.
