Pros

Continually growing company. Global career opportunities if desired. Able to switch departments as opportunities continually arise. Various flexibility. 401k match. ESSP. Has core values of Openness, Honesty, Credibility, Respect, and Service.

Cons

Company has doubled in revenue size every 5 years for the past 20 years. This means the organization changes and evolves to meet this demand. Challenges arise from being in a growth mode for so long, so if you're not up for growth challenges, this company may not be right for you.

Pros

Excellent place to get beginning experience but I recommend leaving within 2-5 years of experience. The environment is lower pressure than comparable companies.

Cons

In comparison to other companies, their manufacturing is disorganized and GMP procedures could be improved upon greatly. Manufacturing management is not great and is very reactive rather than proactive when it comes to quality issues. Company needs a good dose Lean Six Sigma and improved quality procedures. Corporate management does not put proper priority on quality.

The Benefits, 401k, stock, pto (although they could dish more), company events like picnics, family events and promotional events like the sparrow health days and Red Cross blood donations

Cons

Management is terrible and you get treated like you don't know anything, they don't train anyone properly, the pay sucks, not enough promotion or pay upgrades available...it's like a family plan they only push the people they like into promotions and they have wayyyy to much overtime and not enough time with family
