Pros

Good benefits, nice fitness center, hassle-free parking, generally good people

Cons

It is become quite obvious in my long tenure at Perrigo that unless you have been selected in advance by the powers that be, you will never be given true opportunities to move up and are not adequately compensated for the consistent hard work and dedication that you give. There is too much inconsistency between roles/tasks, job titles, and pay structure. Additionally, the last few years have been very difficult with the uncertainties of being acquired, reorganization, and now upcoming layoffs.

Pros

Diverse work environment Lots of variety in job requirements Decent wages Great company if you know someone. Nepotism here.

Cons

There is a formal training guideline that was never completed. We didn't even finish signing off after 6 months. This is for a basic entry level type position. It's not even a higher level position. The technical requirements for pharma are pretty complex. I finished my part but the follow through fell short for hands on experience. It wasn't important to train me so I felt like it wasn't important for me to be there. It was frustrating receiving directions from people who started on the same day as me. I feel like it was because of nepotism. Nepotism exists at this company. They weren't meeting their training on time and were giving me direction and providing me with training. Overall, the rewards couldn't justify the physical demands on my body. I felt frustrated and left incomplete as the only team member without family/friends connection in my anywhere. How did i get this job? I'm clueless about that. Didn't take criticism very well. Felt attacked by calls for action. Higher stress manufacturing environment.
