Pros
- Salary was fairly decent. - Coworkers were good, hardworking people. - Free coffee. - Lab Week - 5 days of treats (lunches, ice cream, pastries, etc.)
Cons
Mostly all of the reviews that you read on here are true in regard to upper management. With that being said, here are my observations from my time at ADL: - Management is EXTREMELY aggressive, demeaning, and unprofessional. - Favortism runs rampant through this company. If you are not one of a certain 5 people (all in management positions) you will be looked down upon, talked about behind your back, jokes will be made at your expense, you will be told you are stupid and lazy if you make a mistake, and you will be screamed at in front of fellow coworkers. - Communication is horrible. You find out about important things that pertain to your job through word of mouth. Yet, somehow, it will be your fault for not knowing about it when you are caught by surprise. - Staff turn around is very high in certain departments. I have witnessed many employees only lasting a week or two before leaving on their own or getting let go that quickly. - Health benefits are very expensive for a family. - Work to life balance was non-existent for my role, but may not be the case for other roles in the company.
