Pros

The average Joe that works at Perigo are great and this is why I write this review to warn them that by law the company have a duty of care to their employees.

Cons

The Human resources and health and safety department are clueless as how the engineering department is run on nights. 90% of the night shift engineers are car mechanics with no qualification or experience as actual maintenance engineers. They called production support engineers with the responsibility of a real maintenance engineer. This bring us to the duty of care to employees. If a unqualified engineer repairs a machine or parts on that machine and an operator gets hurt, that is not a accident, we class that as manslaughter. I'll put it as simple as I can. "a Car mechanic fix cars, a mechanical maintenance engineer fix machines and a electrical engineer fix electrical equipment."

Pros

Health benefits, vacation days, free dog treats/toys

Cons

This is the absolute worst company I have ever worked for. The management is a disaster, they do not care about their employees. 50% of the plant workforce is temp workers and many do not speak English. Overtime is not announced until 1 day prior even though management is fully aware of the demands. The machinery is outdated and breaks down constantly, the maintenance program is poorly managed and will not fix machinery right. And if you enjoy working in an environment where you are constantly exposed to pesticides, you're going to love Perrigo!
