what a joke

People, let's be honest. This is a "world class company". Don't you believe our CEO? After all PW has been CEO/president of 6 different companies over the past 14 years. He knows what to do. He cares about the employees. You will get raises. You will be world class. Wait, while I throw up in my mouth.....

Here's the deal: AAI is up for sale. Management is doing everything they can to show a profit on the books. They brought in this guppy cheerleader to run the company. Basically he goes in to companies, makes them show a profit, gets them, sold, and makes off with some bonuses. Now he's brought in his butt buddies to assist the process. They all act like they care but that couldn't be further from the truth.

I can't believe that the FDA recognizes MCW as a GMP facility. Anyone who has been there knows how run down the joint is. There is no hope for the facility ever becoming "world class". Employees don't have the resources they need in order to achieve goals. They aren't paid well. Employee moral does not exist. There is NO training program. The plant manager can't tell you what you must achieve in order to advance. When asked about advancement on a few occasions he responded with "show more leadership". Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. There is no matrix for which employees to follow in order to complete training. Also, employees are continuously moved from room to room with no repetition on equipment. You are told to sign batch records with no cosigner without being signed off on the SOP’s.

Continue down the management chain to the supervisor. JS has no idea how lead a group of people. He constantly talks about leaving and returning to the west coast. He puts down our great city and tells us how dirty it is. How's that for motivation? His morning meetings are a joke. He can’t pronounce most of the equipment and never makes his points clear. Very hard to understand when speaking. Has no experience on the manufacturing side of this industry but is asked to lead the manufacturing group. Manufacturing employees have no input into anything. Whatever management or quality says goes. It should be that all groups work together but Quality rarely takes the side of the floor employees.

Worst company ever worked for. Complete disaster on the manufacturing side. However, the labs are state of art.

World Class Labs? My azz! It looks like a bunch of cables and hoses falling from the ceiling and the Air system has constant issues. I don't know what kind of vision they had for it, but it's a terrible design and presentation.
 




They are shining up this turd to sell it.

Problem is no one wants to buy it for what they have spent. $50MM+ and counting......no one, I repeat NO ONE will buy this place. They will wait until it goes bankrupt AGAIN and pick the parts they want.

Edson, St Louis will be toast. MCW and MCC have some attraction, the labs have been destroyed.....they have run off all of the senior staff except jimmy and the dwarf now only the mice and possums are left.

Thanks PW, well done.

No serious offers, too much debt and not enough backlog. Everything is short burn, which makes sense. Would you put a long term study into an unstable company? C-11 soon.
 


Wow, I love watching the AAI threads every week. As a former employee for over 8 years, I loved the people at AAI and was proud to work there. It quickly became apparent once PW took charge with his "shoot first and aim later" attitude that AAI would go down the $hitter. And boy has it ever! Even with the addition of Celsis, there is little hope to get the valuation back to where it was when PW started.

The pharmaceutical brainchildren from WaterStreet got rid of a great management team headed by LK and brought in PW and his hacks from Irvine. He was a great fast talking used car salesmen that bragged about what a great job he did at Irvine and Gensia. Not hard to turn a tiny CRO into a "decent looking" company by just hiring some sales guys. Even then, the company had a poor reputation.

He did such a "good job" there, they were happy to get rid of him and fired his cronies the day after he left. Even the Israeli generics company down the road in Irvine, hated PW's B.S and he was too dumb to even know it. They moved to working with AAI, but then dumped AAI as soon as they heard he came to AAI.

You can't get much valuation from a mediocre compendial testing company (High volume, low margin, high risk, low quality, low profit). AAI was twice known as a good development company (low volume, high margins, high quality, decent profit); once under Fred and again under Lee, but now it is a big dysfunctional mess. Everyone in the industry knows (i have spoken with many of them). Nobody will touch AAI for fear of getting it's stink on them.

If WaterStreet (WS) wants to recoup their money, they need to dump PW and bring in a new regime to rebuild the company and brand all over again. It will take considerable effort as the brain drain was severe, but many are left (but shell shocked). Until they do this WS gets what they deserve by bringing him in in the first place.

The brain drain continues. The stability manager resigned. Several others have left for near by CROs.

The specialty services are more or less dead now all we have is commodity offerings like raw materials and micro. Solids manufacturing is busy but that won't pay the rent.
 


No one is laughing.

This place blows chunks. There won't be union, there won't be a walkout/sickday the sheep will continue to get sheared and the shepherd will continue to wear hip waders and boink them.

Will things change naaaanaaaanaaa!

As long as AAI can make payroll they will keep going. PW is bad but no competent person would want to have his job.....we are screwed and stuck with these aholes.
 


If you're so fat and lazy that you need a stick with your badge on it to unlock the door because you can't stand up, then aai is the place for you.

You ass. That's untrue and cruel. The door is poorly engineered and the lady wants to actually do the work she was hired to do. Until some one find a way to let her buzz people in from her desk, she can a) use the badge on a stick and still be able to get work done or b) get up every 15 seconds to let people in or out and get nothing done.
 


She fits right into this land of misfit and broken toys.

PW breaks a lot of them.

You may be the toy of the week now but next week it will be BOHICA and your head gets ripped off.

Or c) get the slack a$$ engineering department to make a call to the access control people and have a desk mounted release button installed. Gee's I know it would require a little thought and effort but it's more world class than a stick used at our main entrance into manufacturing!

John boy needs to crack the whip on booster seat.

John Boy ain't cracking the whip on anybody except the manufacturing people that are quitting aai in record numbers. The old guard Mike was almost 80 years old and he didn't have issues standing up to open the door, now did he? Leave the engineering department alone, They're World Class !!!!!

You guys are assuming that Engineering can find MCW, has the ability to make a phone call to the security company, that AAI has the money to replace the high tech stick with a button.

A more simple and direct solution would be to park jabba the hut by the door instead of behind the desk. That does not cost any money, problem solved, GO AAI!

Jabba The Hut needs to add a few more buttons to her blouse, If I wanted to see the Grand Canyon, Id go on a vacation

Your an $ss for posting that. She can't help her weight and she's certainly not lazy. I can't speak for her but I don't think she's any happier than anyone else there. I'm sure your grudge against this company us very valid but a personal attack on someone like that is unfounded and all you do is lose credibility
Respect for the employees and their families is what is lacking with this company. It not about the money PW. You will be remembered for how you treated people.
