Business Outlook

Pros

The Clinical Supply Services division has a global span, allowing clinical trial support across national and continental borders. This coverage allows the company to manage customers trials regardless of geographic parameters of a study.

Cons

The management repeatedly has been less than honest with its employees, especially regarding acquisitions. The routine nature of buying a company and then closing the acquired facilities, without regard for the loss of capacity & human capital creates an unpleasant work environment. The wasted expense of buying and disposing of facilities also seems to be a short-sighted approach to fiscal management.
