Pros

Global company Growing industry (pharmaceutical) Lot of nice non-manager people who want to do a good job Pay (base and incentive compensation) decent

Cons

Ineffective leadership (incapable, not strategic) Short staffed throughout Lacks diversity & inclusion (even though global company - Yikes) HORRIBLE orientation, training & on boarding Unsure of HR purpose, no value, not proactive Lacks direction (just doing tactical work) IT is just there, not proactive No accountability throughout entire company Great CEO yet how great if all stuff happens on his watch Folks just collecting their pay checks Bonus plan needs revamping

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.
