Pros

The flexible schedule is nice. You can build up to a few weeks of vacation per year over the course of years.

Cons

Seniority means NOTHING. No considerations for job opportunities. Seriously, none. Not even interviews. QC Chemists with 15 years in the department tried to get into AR&D, but were turned down in favor of someone fresh out of college with no job experience. The longer you're here, the more of a disadvantage it is for you. There's less wage increases compared to the new hires. The focus is to retain them, since you're apparently not leaving. Co-workers with 10 less years seniority quickly catch up to your hourly wage. Your extra responsibilities are given to newer employees so that they can get promoted to a Chemist II or III, while there's still high expectations for you to have additional responsibilities (as a senior analyst). Most people are proud to have worked at the same company for 30-40 years, but Perrigo doesn't care Not one bit. You do get to select a crappy gift every 5 years though. They've even taken away the meal when it comes to service awards.

Pros

I am a contractor. The pay is decent from Perrigo and the contracting company. The benefits are okay. The work is fine too.

Cons

Benefits could be better. Upper management seems to have no idea what they are doing. They will say they are implementing a new program to improve transparency or something, but nothing changes. Then layoffs will occur. Lay offs seem to be yearly.
