Philadelphia PA site is a nightmare! - Project Manager Catalent Pharma Employee Review

Pros

The job came with a paycheck and mediocre benefits.

Cons

The Catalent CPS plant in Philadelphia is plagued by an amateur senior leadership team that cannot lead effectively or decisively. Many employees have a very poor opinion of the site leadership as there is too much focus on meeting monthly revenue goals vs. product quality and work-life balance. A day at Catalent is like herding cats.

Pros

The team is incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive, which has made it easy to learn and feel comfortable asking questions. There is a strong focus on training and collaboration, helping me feel safe, well prepared, and confident in my role. I also appreciate the benefits, which support a good work-life balance.

Cons

One area for improvement is the flexibility for new employees regarding remote work hours.

Pros

Adequate amount of PTO and suitable medical benefits and 401K. Co-workers were helpful and good resources when needed.

Cons

Difficult to receive promotions, as site GM, HR, and Global have to approve. No/very small annual increases. Departments need to hire additional support; again, difficult to get management and global to approve, thus a lot of turnover. Site directors/managers had conflicts between departments. Some would intentionally undermine other department heads if it suited their interest. Two directors have personal relationship, which seems to be conflict of interest.
