Bayer Lab Analyst II reviews

The few bad apples were kept no matter how many issues they created at the site

If you work in the lab or the field, you will never get hired here full-time as you are a contractor. Period. A meager starting wage from a multi-billion dollar company buffered with a "2% raise after two years", this company is blessed more than it will ever know to have contractors contribute pretty much all of their research and operations legwork. You can be terminated at any time for any reason, it's actually the only way to get hired as a 'real' employee. They don't refer people internally from contract positions unless you have licked lots of boots and been there for over a decade, you're still taking a chance even then, I've personally witnessed supremely qualified individuals with nearly a decade of contractor work there be picked for fresh out of college admin-types who don't know any crucial info related to their job function and said contractor being asked to train his new boss! On the system he set up! Wow! Non-contract employees look down on you, treat you as disposable drones I won't go into detail but there is a high volume of small petty things that Monsanto did that Bayer CropScience continues to do to contractors to make sure they know that they are not real employees, i.e. valued contributors to the company's success.
