Pros

Benefits are so-so, but because entry pay structure is so low company does not provide a living wage.

Cons

Company is so bug you are really just a number. If you boss transfers out forget about ever getting promoted. Most promotions and advancement seems to be based more on nepotism than actual experience and hard work.

Pros

Good Company. Excellent safety culture. Some training opportunities. This was a pleasant location to be assigned. We were on-site contractor (62 employees, this site) to GSK, huge manicured campus with very nice modern facilities -- decent cubicles and work shops, good equipment, comfortable furniture, IT staff on call, so few computer issues, good cafeterias. Most customers (GSK) and other contractors were fine to work with, managers treated us well and showed appreciation, and teams functioned well.

Cons

Salaries not great. Little opportunity for advancement. Lots of mgmt turnover. Employees often felt superior performance or extra effort not acknowledged / rewarded. Occasionally GSK employees- our customers- were treated contractors poorly, and you needed to be very careful not to upset them because that could threaten your job.
