Pros

Pay is decent and on-par with the industry. Good vacation package and decent 401k match. Health options are good. There is good career potential if some issues are addressed accordingly.

Cons

Corporate communications are severally lacking. HR wants nothing to do with employees and hired out handling of HR issues to a third party which makes simple tasks difficult. Next to zero communication down the chain. Issues and concerns brought to Corporate and HR are left unanswered and with zero help for resolution. Questionable/worrisome payroll and 401k practices/issues. Working for ELANCO you end up feeling like you are just a number and they could care-less about you. Antiquated bi-monthly pay makes it hard to track time for hourly employees.

Pros

Plenty of great, passionate coworkers who work hard and collaborate. I had a lot of professional flexibility and my job was always interesting. Process teams on the manufacturing floor is a great system. Offsite resources, especially technical experts, are great.

Cons

Expect to be firefighting constantly and frequently fighting against an aging facility and outdated processes. No unified vision or clear prioritization from management. Misalignment between site leadership and upper/off-site management created sustained operational friction and stress for employees. Leadership turnover was frequent, contributing to ongoing instability. Because of all this, there was a super low morale and a feeling of widespread fatigue. Inconsistent communication and decision-making standards contributed to a low-trust culture, including regular informal discussion of colleagues and unprofessional and sometimes intimidating behavior in meetings. Performance feedback and perceived value were highly dependent on shifting leadership dynamics rather than consistent, objective criteria. Employees could move from being strongly supported to heavily criticized with little change in actual performance. Although a nine-box review process was supposedly used, individual outcomes were not transparently shared with employees. Onboarding and training for specialized roles were underdeveloped. Compensation was just fine for workload and scope of responsibility.
