Catalent Pharma Reviews

Cons

The cafeteria is not the best, could use some improvements. Would like there to be more food options for the night shift than vending machines

Cons

Benefits could be better but are in line with the market.

Cons

Where do I begin...This location is managed so poorly that is a company joke in almost all conversations. The ultra high production turnover rate (5 different temp agencies are employed to fill continuous manning shortages) is a direct link to the problem. Poorly trained supervisors fight among themselves shift to shift, day in and day out. There is no real set schedule on what to produce when, just a badly organized free for all for production workers. The worst training for new people industry wide, matched by the lowest pay industry wide. The temp agencies and supervision are very dishonest to temp workers about benefits, when you will be hired on as a permanent employee. They will tell you "90 Days and we will submit the paperwork to transition you. I know people still there that have worked over a year as a temp still being lied to. The "scientist" are mainly lab heavy college graduates, and most do not have any idea how to run the machines to make the product the develop for new companies, but always take 100% credit, and earning nice cash bonuses while the employees that actually do all the work, usually last moments notice to meet impossible deadlines get very little to nothing in return. This is daily practice here.
     Supervisors gossip to employees about your private issues, disciplinary issues, yet will favor former coworkers they have worked with at prior companies...such as alter times as to not get an employee fired for being late too often or call offs. Some supervisors have known addictions, which have been reported to HR when such things as asking employees for money or stealing lunches. What's worse is how supervisors talk to employees, like they are second class citizens, and they do so at shift startup meetings if you ask logical questions that prove their dishonesty, or correct a wrongful fact they spreading to all personal. It's very very bad. Some supervisors have told temps that HR is just for permanent employees, which to a degree, HR does protect themselves against valid claims made by temp workers versus company associates. You will see that the company pays someone to rebuff negative claims, saying there is a hotline to call and report issues, apologies...and yet as I know people who have called, they have reported to HR many times, NOTHING has been done. HR has never asked the employees of the Kansas City location about issues, well after people have posted honest reviews that HR needs to address. Plain and simple, Human Resources works FOR the company, and they are the front line to protect the company from financial damages outside the organization, such as court or fines for FDA violations. Please keep that in mind when you read the rebuff for this very open and honest review. Stay away from this company, you will only waste your time. Pay scales are kept secret, done so because someone they like more than you, But has less time with the company or in the field makes more than you may. Simply research the turnover rates, and the different hiring agencies as proof.

Cons

Poor Management,employees do what they want

Cons

None at the present moment

Cons

No office space (mostly cubes, some trailers).

Cons

Management can be terrible!
Don't expect raises so get a good starting salary, it's not going anywhere from there.

Cons

This is the worst company you can work at. Too many bosses (dictators) don’t have any clue what’s going on.

Cons

We have to ensure everything we make is safe for the patients to take - people's lives are at stake. this adds significant pressure to the environment. It's necessary given the potential results if we get it wrong. Accountability, resiliency and the ability to handle pressure are necessary skills to thrive here.

Cons
