Admin Job - Administrative Pharmaceutical Associates Employee Review

Managers communicate. Are empathetic and respectful Colleagues are kind and make it easy to work with them My manager cares about my career growth Compensation is competitive Work life balance

the commute to work when I go in

Plenty of things to do Competitive compensation albeit expensive insurance Immersive training Half of the employees are genuinely nice and caring

Very micromanaged: daily emails of work for accountability due to the diversity of work ethics (some people work very hard while others barely work); majority of group meetings feel like a parent is scolding everyone to do "chores" because many people are lazy or inconsiderate. Stressful: 4-10s is great, hourly paid overtime but in yearly review the management keeps pushing you to work >50 hours/week and reflects negatively on your score if you don't. Ambiance: The "call center style" desk area is actually a viper pit of others judging, gossip, and drama with unevenly distributed workload which creates resentment; some employees talk behind backs or send blanket scathing emails instead of being an adult and professional. Antiquated: extreme use of Excel to create assignments and track testing which needs more streamlining; the "new" LIMS system is slow, time consuming, and halfway effective. New processes, thinking, and technology take an absurdly long time to launch. Supervisors: many chiefs that pull the indians around in circles of tasks (so be prepared for extreme multi-tasking); a couple supervisors are not even necessary however given the title because of time served then butt-in on everything except suddenly knows nothing when asked a question. Changing Departments: good luck!
