Pros

Had to think long and hard about this.It has it's shining moments,and its a steady pay check. Yay

Cons

New regime is dragging this company to a slow painful death.From "SLT" to the newest packer,the only thing thats consistant is their unconsistance. The left hand never knows what the right hand is doing,but will point the fnger of blame in a hurry. One person is expected to do the job of five.,a.d they can't do any of them competantly.

Pros

Great health Benefits, set schedules for different departments, and great starting pay with chances of pay increase on a regular basis. Multiple bonus opportunities and awards throughout the company. Easy labor with great safety precautions if followed for the worker.

Cons

For me personally there wasn't to much all in all wrong with the company, they just take to long hiring personnel from temp services to company pay and benefits. They also were not good at taking care of issues without employees constantly on them. Very slow to change is basically the issue with this company.

Pros

The people are fantastic. Although everyone is worked to the max, staff will generally make the time to help out. I have made some long lasting friendships with some wonderful people. The job is fast-paced and gives you industry experience on a variety of different clinical studies.

Cons

It's not what you know, but who you know. No career progression, unless you know the right people. Some of those in senior leadership are marginally qualified. Most of senior leadership does not support their employees and do not manage workloads effectively. The Union workers do not do their jobs correctly and are not held accountable. There is a serious lack of work ethic and pride to do a quality job. Everyone else works ten times harder to cover up their mistakes. The culture is all about revenue, and that's it!
