Pros

Good benefits and bonus structure

Cons

Long hours with no respite. Weekend work is expected. Little opportunity to actually use vacation. Little diversity. Culture has not kept up with the times (work from home is discouraged and employees are being told to return to work during a pandemic). Employees on the coasts move on but employees at the park (home office) are forced to stay because there is very little pharma in the Chicago area. The result is many employees with over 25 years who don’t want change and many incompetent managers.

Pros

I learned a lot while working this job. The systems like Veeva and Workfront were difficult to learn at first, but once I got the hang of them it was great. There were a lot of great people working around me that wanted to see me succeed.

Cons

Working as a contract worker had it's cons. At times, it felt like I was a little bit of an afterthought in the company with some superiors because I was not a full time employee. Communication suffered at times as well.
