-Some negative people. People love to talk about how much better their old job was and how much of a paycut they took when they accepted this job... these people are forgetting that their last job laid them off and they were out of work for months so going from making nothing to something is not really a paycut... It's like talking to your spouse (who still loved you at rock bottom) about how much more amazing your high school crush was despite the fact that they dumped you the night before prom.
-Growing pains. I'm sure all companies have gone through the same thing but growing from a small to medium company is not fun. Small companies feel like family. Large companies have lots of resources and programs. The place in the middle loses the family feel without yet developing corporate retreats, tuition reimbursement, ergonomic audits, or things of that nature.
-The lab work is not a streamlined. An analyst running samples must find samples in a database, find them in the freezer, remove them from the freezer, remove them from the database, reorganize them, use them, return them to freezer in the original order, replace them in the database and carry out the rest of the days labwork. Samples are the real moneymakers in this industry so revising this process would not go unnoticed in the accounting department.
-There are people with 20 years of experience that perform daily tasks that could be accomplished by a highschool intern after a 15 minute explanation. According to the website, “The BioAgilytix team averages 15+ years of post-schooling bench experience”. This looks great to clients but entry-level positions go a long way in making a workplace run smoothly and let the people with experience feel challenged.
