Terrible company

Pros

Pay, Union protection, overtime rates

Cons

You are not valued and are just another number. The union allows you to get drafted nonstop which is mandatory last second overtime (16 hour shifts). Union allows lazy terrible workers to have a well paying serious job. You will be stuck on an off shift and have to work weekends. Unrealistic expectations for departments. Big pharma just hungry for money 24/7
