Pros

they have a good pto policy

Cons

Over the years, this campus has been sold three times. The new owners, West-Ward a division of Hikma took over last march. I spent 5 years in this place and I saw it go to hell in a hand basket. They forgot a very important business role. People, Process, Product. All they cared about was the product. Screw the morale on the floor,which was at the all time low. They treated the techs on the floor poorly. There's no way I could recommend this place to anyone.

Pros

Lots of decent people at the worker bee level with good technical abilities and common sense. Friends are easy to make and keep. The site is cGMP compliant and safe.

Cons

Management becomes hostile fast and has no respect for anyone with less authority than themselves and "solutions" flow down the organizational chart and NO information flows upwards. No investment in the people that work there (education, PDA, etc.)

Pros

Good company for someone entry level or senior management looking for their "retirement" job. Great benefits including free health,medical,dental, vacation,holidays, bonus, etc. 401K match is phenomenal IF* you can afford to max it out. Holiday events like Luncheon, Gift cards, etc. Company as a whole is growing. Colleagues are pretty much supportive for the most part. In general a safe working environment You meet people who've been here for a couple months to 20+ years. Good mix of young + old people Annual raise is standard average In general flexible work hours as long as the work is completed

Cons

Company is growing in certain sites but dying in others. More profitable sites are given more resources and attention. Salary for management are high but for everyone else below is below average. No pension or stock options as benefits. Some departments are overstaffed/overworked and some are severely understaffed. Compensation is on the low side compared to other pharma companies and pay increase isn't that great when you advance The only way you can move up is pretty much when someone leaves or transfer to another department. Favoritism causes some people to advance a couple times within a year (especially senior management) and there are ones who have been here for 20+ years whom never got promoted once or only once. Upper Management doesn't really engage with lower level employees. Changes are made without informing the employees or done at the very last minute. People are terminated/ laid off without informing other employees. Company pays more to new people coming in than employees who have been tenured longer. Company is resistant to change in certain ways and has a mafia like atmosphere. Very top heavy...Too many chiefs not enough indians
