Pros

Health benefits are good, free OTC products from company store, they match overall 6% to 401k, depending on department you can get flex hours and during the summer you get every other Friday off

Cons

Culture is toxic, not a lot of projects coming in, many people without enough work to fill the day, CEO doesn't have a proven record with the company yet

Pros

Great benefits, safe and friendly working environment, admirable corporate culture, very little age/sex discrimination, on site fitness facilities, and a true sense that each individual employee matters. We make hundreds of high quality products that positively affect millions (if not billions) of people and animals worldwide, and the focus on quality and regulatory requirements are stiff and unwavering (as it should be). Pay is acceptable albeit below market.

Cons

New CEO doesn’t fit the estanlished/prior corporate culture. He is cold and impersonal, as opposed to our last two CEOs who were more visible, engaging, and confidence-builders. Many of us employees are carefully watching his actions and tone to see if it’s going to be worth sticking it out while he gets fully “acclimated” . I’m hopeful, but doubtful. External purchasing: this function was moved from the USA to Dublin Ireland, and maneuvering through any external process issue has been frustrating to say the least. Time zone differences combined with vague and indifferent communication are causing significant service impact to our customers and frustrations for those in supply chain/QA functions. Either fix it now, or move it back to the States ASAP.

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 The machinery is outdated and breaks down constantly, the maintenance program is poorly managed and will not fix machinery right.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!
