Pros
- Get paid to learn and train - Most coworkers are like your classmates in college - There is some flexibility especially if you do the work without much fuss - If you close attention there is even more to learn from pharm to business side of this industry - Almost any other employer will be better in pay, benefits, and anything else related to working
Cons
- Very low pay which is expected in such low margin business - There is only one standard; do it cheap and often - Some departments are much better than others; chemistry and quality vs anything else - Senior staff fall into two categories; very talented or just plain dumb complainers (think of your college classmates who were always jealous of others but older) - Dumb complainers almost always have some irrelevant college degree and having them wear lab coats is a ghastly crime
