Testimonials


“I joined Upsher-Smith as a Drug Information Specialist, coming from a background of traditional pharmacy practice. Upsher-Smith’s size and culture allowed me to interact with individuals across the organization. Sometimes a predefined or established career path isn’t the best answer – at least not for me. As the company evolved and grew, I grew professionally and was able to build off my strengths, creating my own opportunities. I recently became a part of the strategic portfolio management team, playing a key role in contributing to the strategic direction of the company. Through all of this, Upsher-Smith has provided me with the flexibility I need in order to balance my home life along with my career.”

“I have been in the manufacturing sector of the Pharmaceutical industry for more than 33 years. In this time span, I have worked for one of the largest and one of the smallest companies in the country. The qualities possessed by the Upsher-Smith family (integrity, quality, dedication, and passion) are qualities I bring to the workplace and part of what I attribute to my professional longevity. Upsher-Smith has allowed me the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people who need the products I produce. Mark Evenstad speaks of the vision he has for the Company and the employees and I will gladly take on this challenge. I lost my younger sister to a life-threatening illness at the age of 41, and all the drugs I have made over the years couldn't save her. When Mark’s vision becomes reality I'll be able to tell her daughter that I am part of an organization that makes the medicine that will help prevent others from suffering like her mother. I think I'll retire here. Thank you, Upsher-Smith.”
