Lots to learn but be warned - Senior Process Specialist Novocol Pharma Employee Review

High wage And good people

Long hours And hard work

Novocol Pharmaceutical (Septodont) was a great place to work at when it was a family owned business. Everyone was happy, kind, and enjoyed working. Even doing overtime wasn't an issue because the work environment was pleasant. Benefits are pretty good, which is convenient since mental health resources are severely needed.

The new executives have ruined the company within a year of taking over. The company culture is horrible, business is falling apart, and nobody likes going to work anymore. People would rather quit with no back-up than stay. Nobody listens to nor cares about the people doing all the work. They only care about cutting corners by eliminating jobs and implementing short-term solutions instead of investing in their employees and new equipment so they can put more money into their own pockets. You can feel the tension in the air. It's extremely toxic. Nobody is happy, everyone is running on fumes, and are being told to do more with no compensation in return. There has been an increase in people going on mental leave because of how bad it has gotten. Everyone believes that the French Headquarters is getting all the benefits while the Canadian site gets nothing. Not even proper recognition. Until the executive team starts listening to the people at the "bottom", things will only continue to get worse. Also, there is no such thing as a promotion here. You have to "apply" to your position. Not that it matters now since they refuse to increase headcount and wages.
