Pros

Great pay , overtime, good experience . For entry level data entry

Cons

Management was very unprofessional, cursed at employees , spoke about employees personal business as gossip. If you want a job just for a check and good benefits . Here’s the place for you. If you care about being happy where you spend majority of your day look else where.

Pros

•Hour lunch breaks •Company benefits (PTO, ST) and health insurance are decent •You can’t actually be disciplined for anything because the communication and training in the place is so bad that they can never back up their reprimands and prove that it is your fault and it wasn’t miscommunication between all the supervisors or team leads •Plenty of opportunity for extra hours and overtime if you want it

Cons

•Management will not believe you in critical moments. If an employee gets Coronavirus and gives management the documents from their doctor that supports this (a positive test)...this company will not believe you and will make you drive and come in when you’re sick to get a covid test through them so that they can run it and see if you are ‘actually’ sick. •Micromanaging •Disrespectful management •Unprofessional •Will dangle promotions to incentivize work but never follow through and allow you to advance •Do not take matters such as racist comments in the work place seriously, there have been egregious comments made with those employees known for it remaining on staff for years repeating the same epithets with no reprimands •Multiple managers and supervisors and team leads that work over you who do not communicate well with each other or staff. You’ll be reprimanded by two for one thing and told you’re absolutely in the right by the other two while the last is still on the fence and another is trying to write you up for it while the others are still debating •Frequently text and email outside of work expecting you to respond •Pressure you to work more than your contracted or scheduled hours •Almost none of the management/supervisors have science education backgrounds (there is even a supervisor who believes the earth is flat), so they don’t understand the importance of certain lab procedures or PPE and are more worried about how much work you are getting done and how quickly it gets done. They don’t care about employee health or safety or well-being. •All of this leads to a high turnover rate where there is too much work to be done for the number employed. This means they pressure you to work overtime and then they hire temp workers which they pay more than you and expect the overworked staff to train the temp workers for no extra compensation. It’s a recipe for more employee burn out resulting in more turn over •Despite all this, management will demand this job be your first priority outside of your family, school, or life outside work
