Pros

Family feel, friendly co-workers who are willing to help. Pay is good Location is excellent - close to major highways and campus is very nice Makes products that are needed (needles, syringes, etc) Communication from senior leadership is good

Cons

Corporate budgets tend to be tight - frequent hiring freezes, travel restricctions BD is resistant to change - "this is the way we've always done it..." Benefits are good, but employee cost keeps rising significantly each year No stock options for lower level (Job Group 3) employees Policies not enforced, there's a lot of inconsistent job titles / salaries across various BD segments Segments / Units compete with each other (this can be good and bad)
