Pros

You can yell at other employees/make them cry with no repercussions. You can get away with skipping work/doing nothing and they won't fire you. Management will help you if it benefits them. You won't be micromanaged. In fact, you won't be managed at all! Other people will get promotions. If you get cancer, they might give you a few weeks off before demanding you come back to work.

Cons

I hope that I save someone's sanity/marriage/life by posting this before HR can cover it up with a bunch of fake positive reviews. The Kansas City Catalent location has absolutely no values, even though they send out daily e-mails reminding you about said "values". This is the first lie they will tell you when you walk into the door. Don't believe it. Management has no idea what's going on from day-to-day with their employees. They are useless, so much so that I believe Catalent could function without them. Beware of the constant management battles you will endure while working here, as well. You can't trust them, they will lie to get their way (even at the cost of someone losing their job). Throughout my 5 years working for Catalent, in my department of around 25 employees, I saw them fire 8 and I saw 14 quit. By the time I left, only one of my original teammates remained. I was expected to work 17 hour days at times. There were other employees who rarely even worked 8 hours. Don't expect a set schedule. During COVID-19, we were still expected to be in the office 40 hours a week. No PPE was given to protect ourselves from COVID-19. You'll always have something to do. If you don't? You'll do other people's work for them. This is most HORRIBLE place I've ever worked.

Pros

the vacation you get as full-time employee .

Cons

management do not care, they only care how fast the projects get out. If the FDA look deeper they would close that site. HR, and management need training , they had "love them or lose them " training , Catalent is still losing them. worst company to work for. over worked, bad management .
