Pros

Good starting pay. The bonus is nice if the company hits earnings. The association solidarista is also a great perk.

Cons

Management in Costa Rica is shambolic. American Managers have a tendency of firing employees on a whim. The rotation rate is around 30%. Promotions are not really based on specific values nor KPIs. They are given based on nepotism. The work culture can be insane, depending on the account you will have no balance. Unless you want to fired.

Pros

If you're stuck in the Greenville area for some unfortunate reason, it's a job.

Cons

This place is functionally a mafia. The same rotating cast of "old head" people that have been at the site for decades watches each other's backs, and overworks everyone else. God help you if you're actually capable or smart, because they will overload you as much as possible, while ensuring that they, and their pals, do as little as possible. They really have no concept of capacity management at all. There is no math, metrics, or even mild logic that goes in to how they define R&R or distribute work. No one really knows how to do anything at all. Things that sound simple, like shipping a sample for instance.. Well, clear your afternoon. It doesn't help that all of their systems are completely antiquated. I should also note that you won't get any support on anything really, from training to execution. No one wants to be here, and it's so obvious. The place looks and feels like a prison because it is. It doesn't even pay that well compared to other pharma companies! That barbed wire isn't there to keep people out, it's to keep them in.
