Pros

Adapting to a toxic environment.

Cons

There are many area to improvement within this organisation. Company doesn't appreciate staffs, only talk about Work-life balance but doesnt execute. But leadership drives you worse than a machine. Basically, Individual businesses unit doesn't work cohesively. Expectation of their employees couldnt be define properly, depends on your manager. if he wish to find fault at you, he can use many ways to do so. Manager can use nasty words on their employees and drive them to leave voluntarily. HR is useless in this company. Basically, this company is revenue driven company which is normal. But Finance drives the business with price setting, leaving no room for negotiation for contract orders or other business opportunities. no proper processes quality issues, production doesnt have standard SOP and many other things to mention. I have been in the work force for more than 20 years and at least with 3 Multi national companies before. This is the worst. Hire 1 person (of a higher banding) to replace 2 staffs (of lower banding) MC and hospital leave also required to work. Think twice before joining the company. They use many ways to force people out of the company to answer to shareholders especially during the year end to increase their growth

Pros

If you're stuck in the Greenville area for some unfortunate reason, it's a job.

Cons

This place is functionally a mafia. The same rotating cast of "old head" people that have been at the site for decades watches each other's backs, and overworks everyone else. God help you if you're actually capable or smart, because they will overload you as much as possible, while ensuring that they, and their pals, do as little as possible. They really have no concept of capacity management at all. There is no math, metrics, or even mild logic that goes in to how they define R&R or distribute work. No one really knows how to do anything at all. Things that sound simple, like shipping a sample for instance.. Well, clear your afternoon. It doesn't help that all of their systems are completely antiquated. I should also note that you won't get any support on anything really, from training to execution. No one wants to be here, and it's so obvious. The place looks and feels like a prison because it is. It doesn't even pay that well compared to other pharma companies! That barbed wire isn't there to keep people out, it's to keep them in.
