Pros

.25 c vending machine. You could get away with doing nothing if your that kind the place is hemorrhaging money.

Cons

Terrible leadership, management or people put in place because of who they know and not industry knowledge. No one wants to help each other they claim to be a family but no one will go out of there way to help other departments and if you do you are chastised. Fickle attitude of HR. Outdated and archaic processes, if your current or knowledgeable of cfr 210/211 its painful how out of compliance they are, and won’t consider corrections unless it’s to late or suggested by one of the live children. Management has been cleaned out three or so times in the past 4 years and the company consistently over promised and under delivered.

Poor Work Culture due to Delegators.

Pros

Flexible hours, East side Manufacturing Operations Manager, Manufacturing East and West Operations Team Leads, East Quality Manufacturing Specialist, Facilities Engineer, Validation Director, Customer Service Supervisor, Microbiology and Chemistry Lab Manager.

Cons

Very few leaders and many delegator's. The work culture is poor due to inexperienced senior leadership within a 503B space. Leadership would benefit from diving into the CFRs and 503B guidance as they tend to lack the knowledge of manual fill processes and workflow within the unique entity. Leadership also does not understand that the Wichita locations are not a 24 hour operation and attempts to implement processes without proper staffing and the sense of time. Leadership does not positively deal with poor work place behaviors. Staffing does not know the chain of command and the purpose of team work. In seeking employment at these facilities be prepared to have no direction as this company is attempting too many projects and changes at once while dedicating to unrealistic time frames. Senior leadership only visits the production plant right before an audit with very little interactions with the team keep the business financially stable.

Pros

Pay is average. Benefits. PTO

Cons

Constant turnover. Back stabbing environment, especially HR and upper management. Good ol' boys network including making big decisions over drinks at a local bar. Thirsty Thursdays. Look in any desk cabinet and you will find a bottle of liquor.
