Pros
Good place to gain some experience, if you are new to field or just graduated from college. Some great people to work with in the manufacturing department.
Cons
Lots of favoritism going on. Too much politics. You will move up quick if you brown nose the supervisors. Lonza does not know how to utilize talent. Paper pushers gets all the credit, while good workers that are making the company money goes nowhere. So let's just say that it's okay not do any processing and it's okay to have Lots of deviations, as long as you do paper work that office people should be doing, you can move up the ladder quite quickly. Lots of experienced associates have left or are looking to leave. With all the experienced gone, newer associates are forced to fill shoes that are way too big for them. Production is not as smooth, more deviations. Pay is way too cheap for the amount of work and responsibility. Management no longer appreciate the workers, employee appreciation day is now a joke, they rather save money for a Holiday party that not everyone from manufacturing can attend. It's more of a party for office people, not the people making the product and rake in the money. If you work in manufacturing, there are three words to describe it: underpaid, overworked, and underappreciated.
