Pros

Great teams, managers are super friendly and the work atmosphere is great. Opportunities to do many hours Company is growing so room for quick promotions

Cons

The salary is on the lower range The lab is not super organised, you can be asked to do many things on very short notice. The lab is pretty much in constant crumch time with really tight schedule.

Pros

the worker bees can be amazing to work with.. its a roller coaster depending on the season or day.

Cons

Tons of Gossip, airing of dirty laundry in front of participants, Middle management is either clueless or trying to do the job while there hands are tied behind their backs from upper management, Upper management will run it like a kingdom while espousing the merits of being a Team only to push the team aspect when it suits them. extremely high turn over, most current regular FT staff employees less then 3 years to date. Hrs will be feast or famine for PT. 32-55 when busy can be 0 if slow . Pay starts at 12.00_hr good luck at getting a raise at any point personally saw 1 in 3 years while there. only way to make more is to move up or laterally and push for one. Toxic work environment No consistent communication between teams , sites, or management. its so bad the former CEO left for a competitor same person who started the business and built the building the company is now leasing from . and the one they brought in is Never there . you got a Director and clinical supervisor trying to bail water from the ship while other management is drilling holes.
