Pros

ATCC is a solid company that has been around for over 75 years. The organizational culture is fair and ethical. Employees are treated respectfully. Holiday and vacation leave is excellent. The work day is usually 7.5 hours monday to friday. The company is not too small but not large enough to be lost in the masses.

Cons

The company is nonprofit so the salary is lower than most other biotech companies. The company has grown very quickly the past 8 years and space is a commodity. There is less than adequate workspace for many of the employees to perform their job functions.
