Pros

- The pay is above average - Plenty of updates from the site about how things are going, making you feel part of it all

Cons

- Learning on the job is difficult, making mistakes is severely punished, no matter how unimportant the resulting fallout is - Your work enjoyment is very dependant on your boss' first impression of you. If it was not good, it will never change. - Toxic work environment - Plenty of gossip - Manager partakes in, allows and encourages condescending remarks - HR is firmly against the employee - Working conditions are explained in the employee handbook, but are implemented on the whims of the manager; HR will always back the manager. - Patheon was bought by Thermo Fisher in 2017, but there is great resistance in the company to change to Thermo Fisher systems. This causes issues as there are two systems at play
