Union -vs- Company

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Pays well. Product is valued and a sense of pride is instilled in the product manufactured. Quality company to work for. Until recently Merck had a very low turn-over rate.

Cons

A very high stress environment distinct line between management and laborers. Management and Union have a great and long lasting distrust of each other. This results in much tension, stress and finger pointing.

Pros

Salary is OK. Good benefits. Really good people - peers. Everyone works really hard and understands the company mission to save lives and make people feel better.

Cons

Very unappreciative site management, continual expectation to do more with less, people, equipment. No promotions, no career development, forced distributions, unprofessional management, no social network as all the great people were let go Dec 2011 or before. Most work is being outsourced. Many jobs have been eliminated or are in jeopardy as a result of the 2009 merger with Schering Plough. Every year responsibilities increased but pay raises decreased. Promotions stagnant and bar for bonuses raised higher and higher. Change occurs every year.
