Pros

Good benefits, progressive culture change. Keeps the end game of the patient focus always in sight even in the back room of business.

Cons

The location of its headquarters in Waukegan or North Chicago is really the only downfall in my opinion.

Business Outlook

Pros

My co-workers are friendly and knowledgeable. It is a good place to work if you are looking for short-term employment.

Cons

Everything is being outsourced and they and they have purchased Shire as a tax inversion, so the corporate offices and other areas will be relocating to Ireland.
