Good place to start out, not a good career path - Associate Scientist PPD Employee Review

Pros

Lots of training, they actually give you a job without experience straight out of college. Good benefits, time off, and non-work related perks

Cons

VERY poor compensation for laboratory positions. If you get a raise or a promotion, it's only a couple cents an hour difference. Even after several promotions, your salary will still be depressing. Very high turnover rate for obvious reasons

Pros

Compensation and bonus has been available through ebbs and flows of business. Hard work is typically seen and rewarded.

Cons

7 line managers in 10 years (through one role change) Company restructures often. You must be willing to adapt and thrive in constant change.
