Pros

Some paid holidays off Occasional quarterly bonus Decent benefits for insurance

Cons

Hard to advance in position if you do work in the lab, ie, only raises you get are yearly and you can never be a senior analyst due to too many people staying and having those titles, so that means you can’t ever advance until you 10-20 years down the road. 8 hours employees and 12 hour employees get the same amount of time off, but there is a difference of 6 days that the 12 hour employees do not get off. Sick time is connected to your PTO, so you don’t actually have sick time. You just no longer get punished for being sick. Works on a seniority basis and not first come first serve.

Pros

starting pay and the ability to work independently.

Cons

There is a significant amount of workplace drama and unprofessional behavior within the team, which can make the environment feel more like a high school setting than a professional workplace. Management appears to have limited understanding of employees' day-to-day responsibilities and is often resistant to feedback or process improvement suggestions. Employees may feel discouraged from raising concerns or proposing changes. Advancement opportunities also seem limited, with promotions and career growth often perceived as being influenced by personal relationships rather than merit. Additionally, the annual performance review process can be frustrating, as employees may feel that the scoring system makes it difficult to achieve the highest ratings and corresponding compensation increases, regardless of performance. Finally, there are concerns about workload distribution, with some leadership positions appearing to have fewer responsibilities than other team members.
