Pros

Money and benifits were good thaks to the Union

Cons

Had to work there by being a Union employee, however management hated the Union because they thought that we wee ripping them off daily which was not true, so they found any little thing they could find to harrass the employee or get you fired, lovely huh

Pros

Benefits are good and include a pension. There is some opportunity to move around laterally in order to learn different areas of the pharma business.

Cons

If you are an older employee, expect to get laid off. As with many large corporations, they rather outsource offshore and use consultants rather than hiring employees.
