Pros

Benefits are pretty much it but they are very good if you can tolerate a toxic work environment and a dead end job.

Cons

The Minster plant is somewhat of a mess in general but the lab is the worst. Management of the lab is absolutely abysmal and HR isn't doing anything about it despite numerous reports and the fact the lab always scores badly on surveys. Several full time employees have quit this year (2018). No opportunities to move up unless you know someone or are from the area. Favoritism runs rampant and shift wars and rivalries between employees are stoked by management. Very little to no science involved in the job. They will say there are a lot of opportunities to move up in your interview but it's bull. The schedule is terrible for having a life outside of work (8 and 7 day stretches with two days off in between every three or four weeks- and no overtime for this due to the way the pay period is set up) and there is a perpetual short staffing problem due to management that makes it worse. Do not waste your time here, you didn't go to college to work like this.

Pros

Excellent set of value driven and value added products in growth categories

Cons

The Leadership Team is disengaged and disconnected post integration. Several aspects of poor leadership traits and behavior are allowed. Normalized behavior includes aggressive targeting of people and performance to rationalize results and hit value capture targets.
