Awful - Anonymous employee Contract Pharmaceuticals Employee Review

Small enough to know all your fellow coworkers

Smaller company, so advancement might be slower

It was an experience to be cherished forever. Never worked in a company who had such wonderful people, great facility and excellent work culture. A part of the reason that it was originally a BMS facility which CPL took over and as soon as they took over, things went south. Within 5 years, CPL announced closure of the Buffalo plant and went back to their Canada head quarters leaving hundreds of Buffalo folks jobless. There are many theories why CPL did this, but it was never a situation of bankruptcy as there were plenty of new business coming in the Buffalo plant.

CPL is an Ontario based cheap contract manufacturer of semisolids and liquid pharmaceutical products. It might provide cheap contract manufacturing for bigger brand companies, but it treats its employers in miserable ways. They give meager resources to work with and typically blame the workers if the projects don't go well or miss deadlines. This can be an in-between job and not good for long term career prospects.
