Pros

The job was relatively low stress with flexible hours. Coworkers were all very helpful when I first started, especially since this was my first job.

Cons

The end of the month rush to meet revenue goals is stressful and not always well executed. This job becomes routine and mundane very quickly as you run the same experiments over and over. The salary is not very competitive and there is little room for advancement.

Pros

The are some great people and talent within the organization. Sadly they do not retain it.

Cons

This is the bottom of the barrel. Facilities not well maintained. Very big on micromanagement. Low pay. Say goodbye to your weekends your plans and family time are not important. Compliance issues. The list could go on forever.

Pros

There are a lot of different projects to get to learn some new things, which can be helpful if you are looking for experience. However, “lots” of projects, so be expected to work late nights and weekends as the norm. The family-style work relationships among employees is helpful in a tough work environment.

Cons

Horrible culture and leadership/mentorship from management. There is no career development, so what position you start the company at, you will most likely finish in the same role. They hand you a massive laundry list of work to start the week and be expected to justify if something does not get completed. Low respect between analyst vs managers is pretty common here. They hired a new HR team to turn the culture around, but that hasn’t work and it has been a year. It’s all superficial positive behavior but HR and management will made unacceptable comments behind the scenes. In fact, most the the positive reviews on this page are written by HR or third party to boost the company ratings. They have fired people in the past (with 25 years experience with the company) for lousy reasons and play the favorite game. Constant revolving door. But! If you’re single and have no friends and like working 50-60 hours a week for low pay then this is the job for you!
