Top management is unreasonable when dealing with employees.

Lab technician

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay which it should be. The checks don't come back as insufficient funds. The Union employees have always done their best to keep the place going.

Cons

Employee training is lacking in many areas. Computer training should be done by IT folks. New procedures need to be well laid out before dropping on the workers. All workers need to be properly trained/informed of changes in process.

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent benefits (6% 401K match, small pension, though very high deductible for health insurance), large company with opportunities, work locations worldwide, never boring, lots of work available, job security, excellent recognition (awards)

Cons

Lower pay than other NJ companies, salaries are set based upon competitors in other states where the cost of living is much less, slow growth, lots of red tape for promotions, not enough technicians, hire too many PhD. students directly out of college, lots of cliques and co-worker trash talking, high turnover

Very confused leadership in terms of Innovation and Commercial leadership

Business Outlook

Pros

Easy to hide in the matrix organization and not be held accountable. Colleagues are pleasant to work with.

Cons

Total disconnect between the "Global Innovation Team" and the folks that actually have to make things happen. Technical arrogance vs. actual commercial value. Lack of connectivity between the idea people and the folks that have to deliver.
