Pros
Weekend shifts, graveyard shifts for college students. Overtime if you want it, but then the supervisors expect you to stay over all the time without asking other employees to also contribute. Company looks good on a resume. EVERYONE that has left this horrible department moved on to better careers at different companies such as refineries and laboratories. My first day of unemployment felt like I had been released from a mental prison. I guess being terminated was a pro because it allowed me to work at other locations and discover that Grifols isn't all that.
Cons
Where do I start? First, I would say to read some of the lengthy reviews on Glassdoor because everything is very true...the vigilant cameras, militaristic attitude, weed smoking in parking lots and petty supervisors. Basically, if a supervisor doesn't like you, it's going to be VERY tough. It could be possible that they don't like you because you don't like a certain football team, your ethnicity, your marital status or (worse) they don't like the fact you are intelligent. A lot of machismo here. You're female? Run! Do not apply. To college students: Don't let these speakers fool you when they go to your school for these marketing stunts. You will not have an easy job sitting, writing and looking through a microscope. You WILL be doing some hard labor. Just read the job description (Manufacturing Technician). Lifting heavy 40-50 lb 5 gallon bucket pails, VERY cold temperatures, wet/slippery environment, pushing equipment and then...the micro managing supervisors. They just go around spreading the word that "its better than working in a warehouse" and that you will have a career with them if you put in overtime. Lots of false promises here and an overall toxic environment. Trust me....I regret working here this long.
