What don't you like about working at Impax Labs?

"Management treats employees like slaves. They push employees so hard and expect no errors. I see them firing old employees for any small mistake, so they can fill positions with temps. I've seen them hire temps and got laid off after one year. 2 months later, the same temps were there. They had to start day 1 all over again.Their has been lots of injuries, especially wrist and arm. If you complain such as I did they will find an excuse to fire you, such as me. I made a batch record error by overlooking an ingredient that I didn't mix. I worked there 4 years and got fired for that reason. It was the first time I worked with that particular product. My partner overlooked it as well. We both didn't catch it. I also see alot of favortism there. The majority group is Filipinos, and they have a better chance for promotions. I never once got promoted there. I worked extremely hard, and punctual, and still no go. When I made the batch record mistake, I got suspended until investigation. 5 days later I was terminated. I told them that it was an overlook and it was the first time, I worked with that product, HR said that doesn't matter.That was the first time I was suspended. Everyone in that facility is frightened to get fired. This is why no one reports injurys. They rather bare their pain. Bosses and Leads are always harassing employees, asking them are they done. There always expecting unreal time quota, as well as quality work in place."
