Pros

- Purchase up to 4 weeks additional time off at your regular hourly rate - Decent pay - Bonuses - Good health insurance

Cons

- Not professionally challenging - Site culture is mired in the past - Too many managers. Past layoffs when the site was Wyeth resulted in an accumulation of managers. - It is very difficult to fire people at Sanford. This results in the site carrying a lot of deadweight and the outperformers eventually getting burned out and quitting. - Engineering jobs here are all paperwork. You will spend all your time generating reports/documents for auditors that no one will every really read. They just serve as placeholders in case FDA asks for something.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
