Pros

Free coffee and flexible working hrs.

Cons

There's so many to tell. Once it was a better company which respect and value their employees. But after 2016 the company drastically started declining with the restructuring. There onwards CPL started it's firing and hiring culture and continue every year firing people during the end of the year. After couple of months again start hiring and promoting favorites to managerial positions whom has not even contributed anything or showed any progress on their work. That is Manager to Sr manager to Associate Director to Director. Middle management get promotions for lying, harassing people and miss treating. Even though they have a wall written their co-values TRUST, FAIRNESS,RESPECT but these co- values are not being practiced anymore. Now company is loosing many clients and struggling to survive. So stay away from this place unless you are very desperate.

Pros

It was an experience to be cherished forever. Never worked in a company who had such wonderful people, great facility and excellent work culture. A part of the reason that it was originally a BMS facility which CPL took over and as soon as they took over, things went south. Within 5 years, CPL announced closure of the Buffalo plant and went back to their Canada head quarters leaving hundreds of Buffalo folks jobless. There are many theories why CPL did this, but it was never a situation of bankruptcy as there were plenty of new business coming in the Buffalo plant.

Cons

CPL is an Ontario based cheap contract manufacturer of semisolids and liquid pharmaceutical products. It might provide cheap contract manufacturing for bigger brand companies, but it treats its employers in miserable ways. They give meager resources to work with and typically blame the workers if the projects don't go well or miss deadlines. This can be an in-between job and not good for long term career prospects.
