Great benefits, terrible leaders

Pros

Really good benefits. I thought the pay was very good or the industry. Very challenging work.

Cons

They promote people to leadership positions who are terrible leaders. Managers and project managers who are terrible to their direct reports or people working on their projects. It's the most cutthroat place I've ever worked. Incredible favoritism. Completely demoralizing.

Pros

Keeps you busy and interested. People are very friendly and open to questions. Their new employee training is excellent.

Cons

I wish the pay would be better. I have a graduate degree and I'm earning well below the national average.

Pros

Actual managers/scientists know what they are doing. If you are fresh out of college, great place to start. You will learn cGMP and how to do fantastic, quality work

Cons

Low compensation as compared to industry standard. Benefits are comparable, but salary is low compared to the education and experience requirements.
