Pros
I've found no positives to take from this position.
Cons
Within my time at PCI I've accumulated a list of grievances and a culture I simply do not agree with. *Poor culture on quality; nonexistent when it matters most within a GMP organization, to many examples to list where quality was swept under the rug *The company itself is the opposite of being ALCO+ Lean and has been for some time now and I believe its far too late to change the culture within the company. *Pay is egregiously non competitive specifically for a QA position (A position that does little to nothing as I had mentioned that the quality in this company is non existent) *It's taken months for an official Handbook and we have yet to get one, *Safety. I am shocked that the PPE given to employees is not talked more on these forums. The manufacturing suites have insufficient amount of PPE that will fit people. I've seen operators wear PPE that is either too large or too small handling corrosive, biological material, etc. etc. It's been a known unsung issue and not one thing is done about it. *Lastly, one of the most glaring issues with working at PCI is the lack of qualified personal. Its obvious that many employees here don't have the necessary background or education, this is a major red flag especially when you consider the complexity of the work involved in the pharmaceutical industry. In fact the work, culture, and emphasis on quality done here would never pass at any other reputable pharma business that adheres to GMP regulations. -If you are looking for a place where you can grow and be mentored by experienced professionals, this is not it. I'm sure there's individuals that are experienced but is it worth finding out if there is or not, I leave it up to you as in my experience I did not have any.
