Pros

Starting wage is competitive and benefits are decent

Cons

Depending on the site and department you are hired in your experience will be vastly different. Production areas (FIP) are pushed hard and bear the brunt of aggressive schedule demands. 24/7 operations require OT from all three shifts resulting in poor work/life balance for people in these areas. This results in burnout and poor morale. The paycheck keeps you coming back but eventually you reach the point where you question if it's worth the sacrifice you and your family make. All the while other areas operate in a country club environment and ride on, and even hinder, the hard work of the production teams. It really is amazing to see so many benefiting from the effort of so few. Sad.

Pros

You Learn a lot about GMP/Pharmaceutical Industry since its heavily regulated by the FDA. The pay is good for the position.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for career advancement, particularly for contractors. Training is generally restricted to the specific process equipment required for assigned tasks, with little opportunity for broader skill development. Additionally, the workplace culture can be challenging. Some long-tenured employees appear to feel entitled to treat others disrespectfully, creating a toxic work environment. Their seniority often seems to shield them from accountability, as concerns raised with management frequently go unaddressed. There also appears to be a lack of diversity and inclusion, which contributes to workplace microaggressions, disrespectful behavior, and an environment where not all employees feel equally valued or respected. There is limited opportunity for contractors being hired on a full time basis, they have to leave the company for six months before they can be hired back! No company benefits for contractors!
