Pros

Most employees are very friendly and some are extremely talented and passionate about their jobs. There's definitely the opportunity for growth within the company if you push yourself (because management definitely won't help you grow since they want to retain staff in their own departments) and want to try working in different departments. Good benefits and number of PTO days

Cons

Pay is too low compared to the amount of work they expect you to complete. Management doesn't care about employees, but only about meeting deadlines and making clients happy. There are "discussions"/ panels/ surveys to gauge how employees feel, but it's just a front because nothing ever changes or is done. Management doesn't do anything to retain talent. Many people come and go which is really frustrating to have to continuously train new employees. You have to be achieve the impossible to be considered for promotions/ a decent raise, because doing your best and excelling with great metrics isn't cutting it.

Pros

Opportunities to move to different jobs in Merck network, plenty of overtime if you need the money (and are hourly), decent benefits.

Cons

Overtime is extreme, management is useless for the most part other than to delegate more work to you, pay is pretty sad for the industry and the raises are beyond poor.

Pros

Work/Life Balance is adequate. And the work itself can be enjoyable. Great place if your a terrible employee who just wants paid to do as little as possible with no confrontation.

Cons

Below market pay but will tell you they pay competitively. All Management at the site has no experience managing (all past scientists), let alone how to control a budget (backward priorities.) Do not communicate to employees in any way unless something negative happens. Moral is awful within site. Management has a "close our eyes until the problem disappears" attitude because they fear confrontation. No ability to move up unless you have a master's or PhD or are part of the directors outside social group. And if you do, little compensation difference. Terrible building maintenance and unsafe areas to work because of shoddy contractor work. Bonuses only given to higher up management (site manager and above). Only 3 weeks vacation after 5 years and 4 weeks after 15 years (if you can stand it that long.) Measly little 3% annual raise a year, which does not out compete inflation, increased cost of health insurance, etc... Ends up being 0% raise when other costs are factored in.
