Pros

They will train you and it's easy stop move somewhere else. Just get out before they wear you down.

Cons

More workload than staff can reasonably accommodate Nobody cares anymore Morale is at an all time low and I was there under previous ownership They'd rather keep paying to train people due to high turnover than pay the employees they have Lack of equipment. They had grand visions to scale up quickly but have not increased any equipment. We actually have less due to damage and its getting to the point where short people dont even have stools available so they can do their work, yet it's still expected to get done. They force us to use dirty equipment because they have more studies than we can reasonably manage with our resources All they care about is their image and marketing. There isnt one person smiling in my old department most days. Yet that's what their ads show. This is so bad to the point they actually made it more difficult to work. They loaded data collection tablets with their company screensaver. Cue a bunch of tablets dying way too early since it was eating battery. That much vanity is bound to get them into trouble. I hear they throw great expensive parties at conferences. Too bad we never see any of that. Mandatory meetings where they tell you how much money they are making but have no intention of reinvesting in employees despite countless promises. They promised us a raise in spring and that kept us quiet but then it was 16-32 cents which is just insulting Good employees keep getting more work tacked on, poor ones are just left around leeching on everyone Do not apply here if you value your sanity or you are a high performer. They stifle high performers by overloading them until they crack. It's so bad employees joke about it all the time in a sad way.
