Don't Work Here - Especially If You're a Minority - Production Assembler West Pharmaceutical Services Employee Review

Pros

Paygrade is pretty good, nice building and worksite

Cons

Where do I begin, oh yeah, racism and some hidden microaggressions. I've quietly dealt with a group of dudes that would make comments behind my back as if I didn't hear them, playing it off as if it was a joke. Then you have some other employees gossiping behind your back as well, mind you I don't personally know those employees. Dealing with that messed up my mental health, in turn, made me not want to attend work at all. Reading two reviews on West Pharmacuticles, here in Scottsdale, about the discrimination they received proved my point entirely.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are very disappointed to learn of your perception of racism at West. West has zero tolerance for racism, discrimination, hate or violence of any kind and are committed to creating and maintaining a workplace and culture where all team members feel respected and are treated fairly with mutual respect for one another. Disrespectful or discriminatory behavior is not acceptable nor tolerated. We strongly encourage any team member who feels this is not the way we are operating to immediately reach out to any member of leadership, Human Resources or the Compliance and Ethics Office to share their concerns. All team members also have access to the Integrity Helpline where they can report their concerns anonymously if they choose. Annette Favorite Sr. VP and Chief Human Resource Officer

Pros

• Interview process was personal, thoughtful, and conversational — I always felt like a human being, not an application. • Leadership and Talent Acquisition were transparent and respectful throughout. • The people here genuinely care about the work and one another. • Many employees have been with West for 15, 20, even 30+ years, which speaks volumes about culture and stability. • Work is meaningful — West designs and manufactures drug containment and delivery systems that help medications reach patients safely. • Onboarding has been organized and welcoming, with support at every step.

Cons

Systems and digital tools are in transition (which is normal for a growing organization).

Cons

Difficult to progress your title and compensation Company seems to be shrinking their AZ presence Site management is misguided or missing, certainly not focused on employee retention Compensation is low Consistently losing great people and employees that eventually get fed up from working too much without a matching compensation
