Pros

Private healthcare, Good on the job experience.

Cons

Stressful working environment Blame culture Team leaders/management don't listen. Insane employee turnover rate. No recompense for overtime (that was always required) Career progression isn't a possibility unless you're a favourite. One rule for one, one for another. Time here was insanely stressful and the work/life balance is appalling. If you're behind you're expected to catch up at your own expense (time), if you make a mistake they shine a bright light onto it, victimize you, and treat you like you're 5 years old (sometimes in front of the rest of the lab). Management don't listen, so the problems compound. To the point where they constantly direct you away from HR, as to not highlight their poor attitude.

Pros

Diverse work environment Lots of variety in job requirements Decent wages Great company if you know someone. Nepotism here.

Cons

There is a formal training guideline that was never completed. We didn't even finish signing off after 6 months. This is for a basic entry level type position. It's not even a higher level position. The technical requirements for pharma are pretty complex. I finished my part but the follow through fell short for hands on experience. It wasn't important to train me so I felt like it wasn't important for me to be there. It was frustrating receiving directions from people who started on the same day as me. I feel like it was because of nepotism. Nepotism exists at this company. They weren't meeting their training on time and were giving me direction and providing me with training. Overall, the rewards couldn't justify the physical demands on my body. I felt frustrated and left incomplete as the only team member without family/friends connection in my anywhere. How did i get this job? I'm clueless about that. Didn't take criticism very well. Felt attacked by calls for action. Higher stress manufacturing environment.
