Authoritative Dysfunction

Recommend

Pros

Benefits are slightly above average

Cons

Every department operates independently of each other - in order to build little dysfunctional kingdoms. Management are pressured to get the most of their underpaid team members who can expect no rewards or appreciation other than another pile of work. It is close to impossible to get any instrument system implemented and IT is clueless.

Pros

Good place to gain GMP experience. Nice place to work.

Cons

Low pay for a highly profitable company. Very low incentive raises and bonuses. No real commitment to quality. Eliminated a quality group to cut turn around time instead of solving quality problems.

The worst place imaginable to work

Pros

Difficult to think of any

Cons

Very inflexible working hours Working overtime is required nearly daily. Expect to work late into the evening for no extra compensation or no ability to leave early later in the week to compensate for extra time worked during the week. Mangers treat employee with no respect. If you make a mistake they typically throw you under the bus to save their own skin. This sort of blame culture is rampant in PPD. Really toxic culture of cliques within the office which makes fitting in as a new employee extremely difficult. No sense of comradery, solidarity or team spirit in the company. Breaks are at a minimum. Managers will overload you with work rather than hire more staff and to cover their own back they insist you take your two breaks a day meanwhile you are working at least two or three hours of unpaid overtime a week just to get your work finished. Once you become a pernament employee there is still no paid overtime.
