Pros

Location, location, location! For Biopharma, this is a perfect location for those who dont' want to do the commute. Work with a lot of great people and stayed extremely busy.

Cons

Pay is not the best for this type of industry, in part because it is the only stop in town.

Pros

Will hire people straight out of college, always something new to learn, a lot of good people work here, benefits are great, lots of time off especially if you have worked here a long time. Great job security.

Cons

High turnover rate makes working as a team difficult when there are always untrained associates on the floor. This can probably be attributed to the work schedule and the pay. The schedule works great for some people who don't mind working 12 hour days/nights and every other weekend but I know a lot of people who have left because of it. The pay is also less than what you can make in Mass.

Pros

Good benefits, decent pay - 3 weeks vacation to start and a solid 401k match.

Cons

The real problem is a lack of ability to change to match technology and a lack of vision and leadership. It's also a relatively flat organization so wherever you land that's where you'll be.
