Pros

- Get paid to learn and train - Most coworkers are like your classmates in college - There is some flexibility especially if you do the work without much fuss - If you close attention there is even more to learn from pharm to business side of this industry - Almost any other employer will be better in pay, benefits, and anything else related to working

Cons

- Very low pay which is expected in such low margin business - There is only one standard; do it cheap and often - Some departments are much better than others; chemistry and quality vs anything else - Senior staff fall into two categories; very talented or just plain dumb complainers (think of your college classmates who were always jealous of others but older) - Dumb complainers almost always have some irrelevant college degree and having them wear lab coats is a ghastly crime

Pros

Very flexible work hours, easy to talk to managers, a lot of initial training, gain more experience in 1 year than in 4 years of college

Cons

Work load equals too much work for too little pay. Underpaid at all levels, don't care if you have to work over time, only want job done don't care how long it takes you. I have no personal life.
