Pros

The benefits are pretty good. They are paying me more that industry standard. Currently they give cash profit sharing but we are wondering when they will eliminate that.

Cons

Promotions are driven by minority quotas and the "good old boy network" and not performance. Senior management is inept and has an entitlement attitude. Senior management has no concept of quality or what the FDA wants. In their arrogance, they try to out guess the FDA, and saddle the site and division with processes that are neither sustainable or benificial.
