      Pros

      Job with benefits in Tucson, nice overall facility, coworkers in departments outside of Operations (manufacturing) seem to be much happier and more or less content.

      Cons

      Operations management has adopted a Dickensian attitude towards the workers and staff. Not a very pleasant work environment, almost no chance for advancement or raises, no bonuses below scientist level but helltopay if the quota isn't met by department and if that means you'll pull long (uncompensated ) days to hit their bonus numbers... oh well. Overall >very unimpressive. Starting the structural organizational dissassembly of the franchise that is pretty typical of big pharma.

      Pros

      1.Big blue chip company with many global opportunities to move a progress your career across the world. 2. Looks good on your CV. 3. Relatively stable company in a difficult industry. 4. Friendly staff. 5. Good staff training. 6. Nice office facilities.

      Cons

      1. Greater and greater emphasis on centralized processes that lead to edicts from the "Leadership". 2.The point above leads to managers implementing local solutions but framing results to look like they are the great ideas the "Leadership" has been so kind to share and insist we implement. 3. Old ideas are re-badged as new. New bosses never ask if an idea has been tried before. They just assume they have best ideas. 4. "Leadership" that asks for feed back but does not act on it and sidelines personnel who give feedback that does not toe the party line. 5. After a staff survey showed they were heading in the wrong direction for staff satisfaction 3 years ago, latest survey shows they have scored even lower for the same issues raised 3 years ago. 6. Are perceived as arrogant by customers and competitors. 7. They pay less than their competitors
