Decent place to work...could be better

Associate repository technician

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

In this position...you work with some good people, but like in most places there are some in it only for themselves. I have worked in worse places because there are some truly nice people as well. The company could afford to pay better given the types of material we work with. I work with some good supervisors...if you work with them, they will work with you.

Cons

As I mentioned... they could provide better pay, vacation hours, paternity leave. They've made questionable decisions on what to focus spending money from my vantage-point... they don't do enough to make people want to stay.
