Pros
- Culture changing as a result of new people joining the company at the higher levels and bringing in new ideas. - AstraZeneca benefits (the ones that have started are generally nicer than the older Medimmune ones)
Cons
Culture change is having negative side effects on lower level employees: - Moral is low and many employees have left for other area companies - Workers are paid a target of ~80% of the average for someone in there role in the area (per companies own compensation report given to each employee) - Shift sizes shrinking in order to focus on lean manufacturing and company is not filling positions as they open (including business critical positions such as lead and supervisor) - HR cannot explain policies when asked to do so (e.g. "How many vacation hours do I earn and when do I earn them because suddenly my paycheck shows something different?")
