Management Does not Know

Pros

The pros are since management is clueless you have more freedom to take control of your own career. You will never be without work to do

Cons

Management does not know why people are leaving as such all the problems do not get fixed. Management stays pretty steady but all lower positions seem to be a revolving door of people. The benefits are subpar but they will lie and say they are competitive to the industry (maybe if you compare to markets other than the EU and the US). Usually you will have to do more work than you were expecting leading to long days, the average person usually works 45+ hours a week. The promotions only exist if you have the time, does not matter what you know if you don't have the required years you will not be promoted but you will be given more responsibilities. Raises are basically just keeping your pay in par with the rate of inflation.

Pros

A good stepping stone to get into the industry Some really great people working here. Good stepping stone into the pharma and biotech industry, get to see what goes on behind the scenes with drug development.

Cons

Low pay, mediocre benefits, absolutely no training, weak leadership, company cares more about revenue and costs than customer satisfaction and patient safety. Some managers and directors won't allow you to join their teams because they have personal bias against you. Strong internal talents get overlooked for growth, only for someone externally (with not a whole lot of experience in operations, and not used to working in a fast paced environment) to be hired-- internal talents are used to plug in holes. The turnover rate is outrageous, training is weak at best, and management either doesn't have the time to spend time on your development or just doesn't care. The whole organization needs a readjustment and it starts all the way up with the CEO and his entourage of failures.
