Pros

Good benefits. Intelligent and hardworking coworkers. Nice facility, laboratories are slowly being updated from the previous century's standard.

Cons

Fate of the site is unknown, two rounds of layoffs in 2022. Company changing direction in some areas. Feels like they care more about money than patients/products. Every big company meeting we're told it's not about the money and then given an hour presentation on profits. Layoffs start from the bottom rather than the top, analysts aren't losing money, management is. Little enthusiasm for improving inefficient processes, not willing to embrace new technology - some impart due to older employees unwillingness.

Pros

The only benefit is the benefits.

Cons

Inconsistent and bad management styles. Emphasis is on “get it done and don’t ask questions”, rather than communicating and connecting with people to create a more productive work environment. Promotes those with a history of mistakes to get them off the production floor. Keeps good performers locked into lower level roles because promoting them would mean taking away from productivity. Knowledge and experience do not equal respect and opportunity in the production area -repetitive loudness and bullying do. CONSTANT staffing constraints. Very slow to address known issues if at all, whether with processes or personnel. Very few women in positions of leadership in production. If you are a woman in this environment and you want to be involved and advance your career in production, be prepared to fight every day to be heard and get anything done. Employees must advocate for themselves or hope there is a peer with connections and know-how who is willing to help. Management does a poor job of utilizing employees’ past experiences and investing in potential.
