Pros

Tasks are different day to day, from performing validations on new instruments to routine finished product testing.

Cons

Wow, quite a list! The flow of information stops at the manager level. Analysts must guess at what the priorities are, rather than having clear assignments from their manager. Training is sub-par; often consisted of reading the method, then perform test until auditor tells you that you're doing something wrong; then you adjust accordingly. Managers have their favorites and their scapegoats. Favorites do no wrong; scapegoats do no right (even if transgressions have to be manufactured). Chemists are valued less than other employees.

Pros

The team is incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive, which has made it easy to learn and feel comfortable asking questions. There is a strong focus on training and collaboration, helping me feel safe, well prepared, and confident in my role. I also appreciate the benefits, which support a good work-life balance.

Cons

One area for improvement is the flexibility for new employees regarding remote work hours.

Pros

Adequate amount of PTO and suitable medical benefits and 401K. Co-workers were helpful and good resources when needed.

Cons

Difficult to receive promotions, as site GM, HR, and Global have to approve. No/very small annual increases. Departments need to hire additional support; again, difficult to get management and global to approve, thus a lot of turnover. Site directors/managers had conflicts between departments. Some would intentionally undermine other department heads if it suited their interest. Two directors have personal relationship, which seems to be conflict of interest.
