Pros

Strong team environment: I genuinely enjoy the people I work with and the teamwork across shifts and departments. 401(k): The retirement plan has been a meaningful part of the overall compensation package. Some of the Health benefits

Cons

The company does not consistently follow its own core values in how employees are managed and treated. HR interactions can feel one‑sided—expecting respect and compliance while not consistently showing respect in return. There is too much management overhead with limited visibility and support when employees need leadership most. Employees are frequently expected to work holidays, creating work‑life imbalance and burnout risk. Merit increases have not matched cost‑of‑living increases, leaving employees feeling they are falling behind financially. Policies and schedules vary across locations, creating inconsistent expectations and a perception of unfair treatment. Company performance is often communicated positively, but employees don’t feel that success is shared or reinvested in them. Many employees feel uncomfortable speaking up and worry about job loss, which negatively impacts culture and continuous improvement.

Pros

Many opportunities for advancement and on-the-job learning. Benefits are fantastic with a 9% total 401K match, great health insurance with an employer HSA match, education assistance, and more. People are really wonderful, and management cares about employee well-being. The company is growing and has been moving in positive directions in my time there. Change is slow, but there are always changes in progress, so it feels like something new is happening all the time. I love my job and my team is incredible. I recommend Tolmar to anyone who asks me about it.

Cons

Production and workflows can be a little disorganized, with last-minute changes. The pay is competitive for Colorado, but low compared to bigger pharma hubs for a lot of positions. Company development is slow (as is true much of the time in pharma). Some positions are repetitive and labor-intensive, and have high turnover that makes work challenging for people that stay on.

Pros

Career devlopment is a huge plus with this company. There is a lot of opportunities to learn new things and develop skills that will serve you well in the pharma spaceq Pay and benefits are also pretty solid.

Cons

Management was inexperienced and consistently difficult to work with within all departments. Good management is a rarity in this company. Manufacturing scheduling and processes were all over the place and often delayed. All essential departments were consistently under staffed and turnover was high. The expectations around work output were unrealistic and exhausting. Everything is urgent and high priority, and they expect you to compensate for poor scheduling and poor retention rates.
