Pros

There are a lot of development opportunities at Catalent. You definitely learn a lot of you are starting your career. The benefits are fairly good and the compensation is competitive.

Cons

I worked at Catalent in Bloomington for six years. We grew up too fast that it was scary. Upper management made so many commitments that at some point we were slaves. Some people had their PTO cancelled to meet demands. I worked extensive hours to meet business needs but we were always short staffed and it was impossible to catch up. I heard things were going to get better for 4 years but they never did.

Pros

**PTO & Benefits. **The job is relatively easy to get if you can get past (3) interview rounds. They desperately need people in every department especially project management.

Cons

* Turnover was and I'm sure still is high. In just 3 months 5 months 15 people in the project management department alone left. * The workload is too much for one person to bare. I saw some new Project Coordinators getting a client and they weren't even finished training. One of the PC's under me had about 8 clients before she left. * Managers of Project Manager are terrible and 2/5 of them are new themselves and don't manage or help their team, they just simply micromanage. * As far as PC's( oh yeah your job title may be Project Coordinator, but you will have your own clients and do PM work just w/o the pay) unless you are paired with a good PM who is willing to train you and show you the ropes you will struggle. They don't train anyone coming in it's a sink or swim environment. * Only take this job if you absolutely have no other choice and you want the experience.
