Mildly Fulfilling
Quality Assurance Professional (Current Employee), Woodstock, IL – May 10, 2013
Very unorganized, only decent pay, and horrible work/life balance. The only two positives (which do not outweight the negatives) are that there are plenty of great hands-on learning opportunities and the people who work for Catalent are great. However, I would not suggest working there to anyone I respect.

Very fast paced envirement
PA1 Packager (Former Employee), Woodstock, IL – February 4, 2013
Pros: set schedule.
Cons: some of the co-workers not being team players.
A typical day at work involved rotating every hour on the hour and making sure product was inspected correctly and packaged correctly. I learned that it suits you and everyone else to work together and have team work than to just put yourself in little groups and not help others. My co-workers showed me how to not outcast people and how to work with – more... others. It was a pleasure with some of them and then others was a learning experience, and not always a good learning experience. The hardest part I would have to say was making sure everyone was on the same page and got along, The most enjoyable part of the Job was to know that we were inspecting and packaging product that goes out to help people. – less

Productive Work Place
Manager (Current Employee), Somerset, NJ – January 8, 2013
Pros: learn alot
Cons: no work/life balance
Productive work environment - there is always something to do. The company operates very LEAN; therefore its possible that one person is doing a 2/3 person job.

Much expected... little reward
QC Chemist (Former Employee), Winchester, KY – December 5, 2012
Pros: descent pay, good people to work with
Cons: management, human resources, no possible chance for advancement
You better know someone higher up if you ever want to get somewhere in this company. They expect more hours out of their workforce and give little credit to the people who work hard. I spent a few days working basically a double shift in order for a shipment to go out... Not even a thank you for your hard work. The HR department was halfway descent – more... until about a year and a half ago, you really can't trust a single word from them now. The pay is ok for a new grad, but don't expect it to go up. Overall I did enjoy the time I spent there, basically because of the people I worked with. Otherwise it's a terrible place to work. – less

Give and Take
QC Chemist (Former Employee), Winchester, KY – November 25, 2012
The management was horrible as was the working environment. The overall morale of the employees was depressing as well. The job itself was wonderful. It was the working environment that took away from the experience.

great workforce
Manager, Strategic Sourcing (Former Employee), Saint Petersburg, FL – October 11, 2012
Cons: management that does not care about the people
Use to be a great place to work, but with cut backs in personnel all management is after is the work, and the people left take on more and more responsibility. Use to be a great place to work, not all I hear are more and more complaints from those people still there.

Pharmaceutical Company closing
Sr. Accountability Coordinator (Current Employee), Mount Laurel, NJ – September 28, 2012
Catalent brought my former employer (Aptuit) in February 2012, and announced they were closing the Mt. Laurel site June 2012 by December 2012. A typical day at work is very stressful and hectic as we are trying to close the site. The hardest part right now is seeing people that I've worked with for 14 years leave and move on to different jobs.

N/A (Former Employee), USA – September 9, 2012
Pros: pto
Cons: to many to list, but mostly pay and micro management that knows nothing about the process!!
If I could give a negative star I would.
The only nice thing I can say about this company, is it's better than no job at all!

A great start but stagnation for overall career
Quality Control Associate Scientist (Current Employee), Tampa, FL – August 27, 2012
Pros: co-workers, pto days
Cons: stagnation, no recognition for work, little compensation for time
A typical day is stressful but steady. I have learned quite a bit about the pharmaceutical manufacturing business. The company is very kind to those who are beginning to spread their wings. Co-workers are warm and energetic with many years of service under their belts. The hardest part of working in this company is being understaffed. There is a preponderance – more... of work and it is streams in continually but unfortunately, there are not enough employees to tackle all of it. The most enjoyable part of the job is being part of the laboratory family. – less

Results-oriented company with focus on top line savings
Sr. Supervisor, Label Generation (Current Employee), Mount Laurel, NJ – August 14, 2012
I have only worked with Catalent for a brief time period. During my time here there has been strong focus on operational excellence and process improvement. Progressive 5S was one of the first things we were trained to implement at our facility. They are closing my facility in order to create an East Coast center of excellence at the PHL location. I – more... am hoping to transfer to the PHL site; however, there is limited space. Notifications have been timely and informative. – less
