Terrible Management within the business.

Pros

Company is growing. Competitive pay. Strong corporate values. Great Executives.

Cons

Poor Management as we start to move down the ladder. Executives put in a No Fear policy, which disappears the moment you walk into one of the plants. Lack of communication across the board. High favoritism. Managers also do a terrible job of following procedures, which trickles down to the common hourly employees. HR doesn’t hire, multiple positions open for months at a time, which causes current employees to work 6 days/7 days a week. Turn Over rate is extremely high. Operations runs the show, tells QA what to release or what to put on hold. Operations falsify documentation, which leaves QA with no room for traceability. Company is one FDA pop up or major audit from being shut down. Operations tell HR who to hire or fire. When it comes to being hired, or promoted. Operations has a say even if your department is XYZ. Operations tells Procurement what to buy. Managers think they know everything so you can’t make suggestions or ideas which hurts the company. Ideas you do decide you want to bring forward goes into the trash. There’s supposed to be a checks and balances system to stop one group or person from having all the power but that’s exactly what happen. Operations runs everything, and whoever is the leader of operations is GOD

Pros

You can only post a pro if you go to a certain someone's Church. If you do not attend that Church, you are a nobody and get treated like crap and disrespected on a regular basis.

Cons

Everything about this place is a con. Including half of the employees. Worst place in southern New Jersey to work.

Pros

You run all day, so when you get a real rational job, life is better-after Simmons

Cons

Corporate would have you believe they are family oriented, values, good ethics. They cast hasty judgment, money hungry, and only pretend to care for their slaves.
