Pros

-Workers outside of continuous improvement department seemed like they enjoy their jobs and have career paths -non-manufacturing processes executed well with competent staff -Compensation was adequate if role had stayed true to job description

Cons

-Management has made enemies with most other departments and it falls on engineers to make up for gaps they won't cover -Site leaders focused on small prestige projects leaving current manufacturing to decay while raising expected output -Discriminates against people needing disability accommodations while publicly shaming them for needing help to other employees -Strong culture of keeping secrets to not delay manufacturing. Flagrant violations of FDA inspection policy while turning the other way to increase output -"not my problem" approach to patient safety regarding correct FDA procedure and potential harm from incorrect manufacturing -Required weekend and late night work with no compensation on salary staff with mass email shamings to co-workers and management if you don't come in -Generally decaying facility with outdated equipment. Management most likely looking to sell facility once manufacturing lines are broken -Raising concerns about possible non-conformance's that would slow down of output prompts threats from management about staying quiet and sweeping things under the rug. Threatened with termination for pointing out issues that are inconvenient to rectify,

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!
