      Pros

      It was a short commute.

      Cons

      Don't expect to be hired as a permanent employee in a high position if you're a minority. If you have a degree it meas nada here.

      Ridiculous amount of work with ever decreasing resources

      Pros

      Some of the people are wonderful. Benefits are decent. Good way to enter the pharma/medical device industry.

      Cons

      More work is always being forced upon employees without management providing resources. 12 hour shifts can be challenging when everyone expects you to work for free as an exempt employee on your off days. Almost no one respects night shift schedule and expects night shift employees to be present at meetings throughout the day.
