Pros

it's close to my home. it pays well for the area. they have positions available.

Cons

management does not care about the workers and non-management is often show disdain and disrespect. even strong efforts by employees (and contractors) goes by without reward -- even in the form of verbal affirmation many times. I know that employees have been threatened with firing because of things that middle management told them to do. Others have been called names by their manager because they were Jewish. The only way to get ahead is to be a brown noser. People who work hard and really get the job done are not rewarded with promotions unless they are also doing things to specifically impress middle management; in other words, the ones who suck up get promoted.

Pros

You Learn a lot about GMP/Pharmaceutical Industry since its heavily regulated by the FDA. The pay is good for the position.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for career advancement, particularly for contractors. Training is generally restricted to the specific process equipment required for assigned tasks, with little opportunity for broader skill development. Additionally, the workplace culture can be challenging. Some long-tenured employees appear to feel entitled to treat others disrespectfully, creating a toxic work environment. Their seniority often seems to shield them from accountability, as concerns raised with management frequently go unaddressed. There also appears to be a lack of diversity and inclusion, which contributes to workplace microaggressions, disrespectful behavior, and an environment where not all employees feel equally valued or respected. There is limited opportunity for contractors being hired on a full time basis, they have to leave the company for six months before they can be hired back! No company benefits for contractors!
