Pros

More resources are available than a research university for more sophisticated lab work. Furthermore, expensive cruelty-free tissue models could be used instead of cheap lab mice. The company's name is very well-known and respected in many countries around the globe. Employees are treated very well. While making money is the top priority of the company, it does so with integrity and by making products that will improve the everyday lives of many.

Cons

Sustainability is an important issue to me, and I was frustrated with the great amount of excess energy I would see each day. Furthermore, as I learn more about leading a green lifestyle, I am starting to shop more from local businesses, and support multi-national corporations less. It would be too hard to try to live a sustainable lifestyle in Cincinnati, a city that requires a personal car to get almost anything done. Personally, I despised what my life had become after 12 weeks working in Cincinnati.

Pros

training in in depth, training on job, basic star interview questions good company, stable benefits are somewhat cheap

Cons

training can be a lot, you have about 1-2hr presentations biweekly where you get tested on different aspects of the plant, like steam system, water system, utilities etc, training can last up to 6 months paid once a month, irregular times on call, may have to work weekends depending on machines work long shifts, sometimes up to 16 hours depending on how machines run, expected to be at work by 6am for safety meetings, 5am sometimes depending on the site you work at, expected to stay if machines run poorly can be demanding- most entry level managers are fresh out of college and expected to train and manage individuals who have worked at the company for decades not very easy to change departments, takes a couple of years no matching 401k, they have their own profit sharing thing, if you quit before 3-4 years at the company, you lose the money
