ProPharma Group

This company is all glitz and glamour until you start working for them. They start out promising you all of these wonderful things, but never follow through on anything they promise. The work can be difficult, the staff is over worked and the management refuse to bring in more people to help off-set the work load. The scheduled hours are typically 8-4:30, but lunches are generally not taken , you get grief for going to the restroom and staff is EXPECTED to stay late regardless of what time they come in or are scheduled to leave.The management staff are not connected to their employees. They don't know what the majority of their employees actually do for their job, but will be the first to have a "talk" when something isn't getting done. Management plays favorites. There are multiple staff "favorites" who get better treatment than others. There are staff who are targeted. If management doesn't like you, they will target you and find as many reasons as they can to get rid of you. There is no consistency in anything in that company. The company is split when it comes to consistency, each location has a different set or rules or standards and a different set of management looking over you. So when you see that the benefits and compensation are great as far as how long you've worked there... the being over worked, job security and management aren't worth the extra little bonuses. As far as advancement goes, this company doesn't do advancement. When they created the ladder program for advancement only Specialists had advancement opportunities and even then, the Specialists who had been there for a while were automatically promoted to Sr. Specialists, but there were also Specialists who had been then less than a year who got the same promotion over looking some Specialists who had been there multiple years, had great client relationships and always went the extra mile, worked 10 times harder and never had the opportunity for growth. Supportive staff was promised an opportunity for advancement, this never came to fruition. This company isn't as great as they promote themselves to be.

ProPharma Group is one of the rare companies that is always looking for innovation and new ideas.  Many companies that you may find yourself working at will discourage change and strive to maintain the status quo.  This is not the way ProPharma Group operates.

As a consulting company, it is in ProPharma Group's best interest to keep current with industry trends and keep ahead of the curve with regard to new technology and methods of regulatory compliance. With that said, if you come in with experience or knowledge that may be a little different from "the way we have always done it", you're encouraged to share that experience so that the whole company can grow from it.  The stronger and more diverse you are as an individual employee, the stronger and more adaptable the company is, and that is in everyone's best interest.  No one "hoards" knowledge here, and it's always alright to say "I don't know", because someone else here probably does know, and you can learn from them.

ProPharma Group is the only place that I have ever worked where I truly, sincerely feel appreciated and respected.  I am called upon as an SME for certain things and I share my knowledge resources with everyone that I can, every chance I get.

I left the company after 4 years to reboot my personal and professional life, but returned after two years and have never been happier.  ProPharma Group is the best company I have ever worked for without exception.

In most cases there is a large travel component intrinsic in the job responsibility, so keep that in mind when you apply.

ProPharma Group has provided great opportunities for personal and professional growth in a very dynamic fast-paced environment. At ProPharma Group I've had the opportunity to work with some of the most knowledgeable and experienced colleagues in the life sciences industry.  Additionally I've been able to contribute to client projects and needs at the largest pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and medical device companies, while helping smaller start up companies establish practical compliance practices.

I've been provided ongoing training on a number of compliance and project management topics.  Travel demands are significant when working on projects at client sites throughout the country; however, the variety of projects and responsibilities involved make for a very interesting professional opportunity.

Everyone at ProPharma Group is very supportive of one another and ready to help out with any individual needs.  I've appreciated having the internal support from full time IT, HR, and finance staff.  If you're interested in a company that prides itself on customer satisfaction, high levels of service quality, and colleague support and opportunity consider ProPharma Group.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Work/Life Balance.  Remote work and job flexibility.  Interesting and very challenging work. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
I didn't really feel any stress, however, I was hopeful to become a permanent employee.  They originally had me sign a contract continuation through 12/31/2022.  I was notified of a Novavax Project update Meeting 45 minutes prior to the meeting time.  They then notified all on the call that we were terminated.  I was in the middle of a project and was locked out of my computer and all apps the minute we signed off of the call.  Our UK counterparts were at least allowed to finish out their contracts.  Not sure why the US has to be like this.  

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Excellent!!! It was very professional.  We could reach out for help if we needed it, but I worked on a team of highly trained professionals who were all self-directed and driven.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Each day was different.  Regularly scheduled meetings, live training, materials development, learning about new systems, and working on additional projects.  Some days were busier than others, but I felt like I was kept busy every day.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I worked in their medical information area. The best part was the people and the benefits were good. Promotion and professional development is available but harder to attain.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It was not stressful. They have clear expectations.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
When I worked there it was collaborative in nature within my team, however I'm not certain with other managers. I know there were some challenges with managers understanding their direct reports. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
It depends on your role, if you were in med info, you are actively answering phones and working in the medical information database. Additionally, you are managing emails.

What is the best part of working at the company?
I became an employee that was considered a utility player. There wasn't a postion within that company that I hadn't worked in 22 years.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Waiting for them to promote and not acknowledge current potential in existing employee's.
They needed to look outside the box.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
it's no longer in the city that I worked at it in but it's now international or corporate in Overland Park KS

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Normal employee duties. just handling anything that needed handling from new employees or current employees. I always worked more hours than expected to work.

ProPharma Group offers a competitive workplace with plenty of opportunities for upward mobility.  Employees are encouraged to set goals and receive paid time off each year for continuing education. It is not easy work, and the expectations are high; however, they continue to treat their employees right and the compensation is great. The hardest part of the job is working on a global time schedule and realizing you may have to be available at odd hours. This is not a regular occurrence but does happen occasionally. Managment has high expectations for employees and hold employee work to a high standard. If you fail to reach those standards they will tell you, this is your chance to change, take it or wash out. 

Overall great environment and a joy to work for.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Some of the people I worked with at PPG are the most loyal, dedicated and efficient people I have ever worked with

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It was a contract position so not knowing if I would have a job next month, next week, etc was the most stressful part

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It was a remote position so the environment was what I made it to be. The company's upper management had very little contact/interest in our dad-to-day activities.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I made sure I was up-to-date with all my OJT assignments and replied to emails. I worked on projects assigned to me and attended meetings for most of the day. The late afternoons were the quietest times so I was able to focus on my assigned tasks.

I worked hard and they were flexible when a situation arose and you needed to leave. As long as you were “liked” by the right people you were successful. If you came in and worked hard with a few on your side you might or might not make it. Bottom line..... management better like you and you better know how to sway them if not or wouldn’t be hapoy for long. Bottom line is everyone judges you here. CEO very friendly. Reward hard work but expectation is nothing short there of. Not the place for someone needing actual hands on training, figure it out quickly or sink!

What is the best part of working at the company?
No micromanagement.  Flexible when it came to hour of work. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Getting IT to help you resolve issues.  They don't understand or comprehend what is asked of them. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Everyone is remote and hardly any interaction with others. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Try to resolve problems that someone else usually created.  Reconciliations and lack of information was frustrating. No one seems to know much.
