How difficult is it to maintain a social life while in your job at Shire Pharmaceuticals?
More difficult than it should be. The schedule has horrible hours and little consistency that make it difficult to impossible to schedule anything with people, or have get-togethers at a regular time. 7 days a week, morning afternoon or night, you are expected to be available.
It depends on which area you work in. In the warehouse we only work 8 hours a day so you really don't miss out on too much.
