Pros

A good place to get exposure to the various aspects of a pharmaceutical company as an introduction (manufacturing, QC, QA, MSAT, engineering). You will get to interact with numerous parties to understand how they and you fit in the company's overall operations.

Cons

Key drawback is that say, even as a manufacturing personnel whose main focus is process operations, you are still expected to significantly support other functions beyond the scope of your department, sometimes excessively. Hence, it will not be conducive and even disruptive especially in days with high intensity operations amidst a strained manpower.
