Pros

My co-workers are genuine and fun people who will help and support you. The company provides some good perks like bringing in food trucks on Fridays in the summer and selling subsidized sports tickets.

Cons

Management is severely lacking in direction and focus. Expect micromanaging daily. There is no steady work schedule. The stress level is very high. Workdays are exceedingly long, 50 hour weeks are normal. Some of my coworkers put in 60-70 hours some weeks.

The team is incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive, which has made it easy to learn and feel comfortable asking questions. There is a strong focus on training and collaboration, helping me feel safe, well prepared, and confident in my role. I also appreciate the benefits, which support a good work-life balance.

Cons

One area for improvement is the flexibility for new employees regarding remote work hours.

Pros

Good people and good training Good stepping stone for a pharma manufacturing career clean environment

Cons

Insanely underappreciative and borderline abusive upper management 3+ months mandatory overtime might as well tell your kids they are orphans, you will never be home power hungry micromanagers (spies on people who takes breaks) different pay for everyone cannot stress enough how bad the upper management is, so many people are leaving (even people who have been working for there 5+ years!) because of the lack of appreciation, micromanagement, and clear lack of respect for their workers. very disorganized
