Its average. Certainly not a company for high achievers.

Pros

- Flexible work hours - Good location with parking and close to trains/buses - Great place to work if you’re not looking for a career (constantly employing contractors, as theres no room for head count)

Cons

- Managers can be clueless and lack people skills (never listen or take feedback). Constantly trying to explain processes with incompetent managers becomes unbearable. - Managers lack of self-awareness was too much; shaming and threatening your team to get results is ineffective and is a prime example of how weak managers deal with problems. - People stick to their own ‘groups’ and go out of their way to make others feel unwelcome.

CHC team was great.

Pros

Was a great culture, work hard, was a great GM, was a great team that pulled together.

Cons

There was a change in leadership over two years ago and since then, the CHC division has gone downhill. The leadership is bullish, lacks care for people or strategy. Top talent have left and others are looking to leave. There is a lack of understanding of an FMCG business now and while sales are good, the team are miserable and have turned on each other. The people who are left are trying to do their best but lack guidance and are petrified of making a decision. Unless you are a sycophant you are unlikely to survive.

Incompetence creeping in. Mostly made up of disgruntled employees.

Pros

Still a viable commercial entity, therapies are top class though competition is equal if not better in some circumstances. There are scarce number of staff who understand the need for real patient centricity, though they are being suffocated.

Cons

Lack of talent and engagement. People who have traversed pharma 101 models for years have no idea how to manage this space and their people to get the best out of the situation. Teams are disgruntled, with one team in particular set up by poor manager prior. Possibility for improvement with entry of new staff.
