Pros

You get paid breaks and some of the people are nice.

Cons

There are too many cliques and management will take advantage of their employees with little effort to help employees achieve their tasks aside from a pat on the back. The output has increased over the years and there is nothing that has been done to help ease the amount of output. Tools are missing or no longer usable and drums used to move product from location to location are far and few between It's expected that employees are to now clean the drums they need but when that gets included along with the normal work tasks it becomes tiring and may lead to more stress/depression and resentment as it takes up a lot more time. There should be either people hired to do the drum cleaning specifically or there should be a truck bringing in clean drums daily that should be stocked on the floor by leadership to hit the numbers they want... They preach safety and quality but when they don't get their numbers you will be treated as if you are a useless employee. You do not get raises for how hard you work, how much you do or your knowledge. Everyone gets mostly the same raise just for showing up and "doing your job".

Pros

Diverse work environment Lots of variety in job requirements Decent wages Great company if you know someone. Nepotism here.

Cons

There is a formal training guideline that was never completed. We didn't even finish signing off after 6 months. This is for a basic entry level type position. It's not even a higher level position. The technical requirements for pharma are pretty complex. I finished my part but the follow through fell short for hands on experience. It wasn't important to train me so I felt like it wasn't important for me to be there. It was frustrating receiving directions from people who started on the same day as me. I feel like it was because of nepotism. Nepotism exists at this company. They weren't meeting their training on time and were giving me direction and providing me with training. Overall, the rewards couldn't justify the physical demands on my body. I felt frustrated and left incomplete as the only team member without family/friends connection in my anywhere. How did i get this job? I'm clueless about that. Didn't take criticism very well. Felt attacked by calls for action. Higher stress manufacturing environment.
