Pros

Low barrier. Great for entry level experience. 50$ birthday gift card. Some coworkers are cool. Lot of demand for overtime; like pulling a straight 23 hour shift.

Cons

High expectations but limited to no resources. Raises are not good. Supervisors are inexperienced and too adolescent like the company. HR jokes about giving BJ's. Maybe that should fall under Pros instead of Cons. He wrote "downgrade benefits" in his office whiteboard but announced it was an upgrade during the town hall. Low ceiling. Rust in the GMP lab. Very primitive procedures leading to high exposure to dangerous chemicals; hence, the high number of accidents. In 2016 there was about a 30% turnover rate. 2017 about 20%. 2018... it's probably at least 10% in the first half of the year. Best of all, high favoritism. Example, a chem 1 was promoted for not knowing how to do his basic duties, just brown nosing. 2 individuals got caught backdating. One got fired while the other got to stay. An individual forged a qa supervisor's signature but was not reprimanded. This isn't a traditional pharma. It's more of a third world sweat shop factory.
