Pros

Pay is decent for the area

Cons

Safety first, safety last, unless the customer needs it fast. Ridiculous deadlines, schedulers and coordinators must never speak to each other. Been there 4 years or less? Be prepared to sign off on every machine they throw you on. Been there 10/15 years or more? It's cool, you can just remain a packager. "We are all a family" Sure,sure we are. Will you help me lift up this rug? Let's just sweep this right under here. OSHA recordable? What's that? 'PPRECIATE YAY!

Pros

-Train shuttle provided, easy parking for car commuters -Urban location. Walking distance to downtown and train and shopping -some really nice and talented people who choice to stay loyal to the company despite a long history that could prove otherwise -benefits are average

Cons

-extremely poor management across the board who convince each other they are better and more deserving than others -poor attitude is rewarded -lack of respect among colleagues. Many people do not interact with each other based on long time political conflict -gaslighting culture with blame game instead of collaboration or accountability -low budget year on year and poor performance from business means less money for capital purchase and more pressure on scientists to perform fast and faster -very little room for upward growth with zero support or succession plan -no food option onsite
