Pros

Great pay and meals/snacks are provided. Benefits are also great and plenty of PTO and sick days. Never had a problem with co-workers or managers and everyone was very nice. Low stress job for the most part. Great job for a recent graduate temporarily.

Cons

Food quality suffered over time and we at one point had food trucks and before I left it was just cold subpar food. The work can be very monotonous(thankfully listening to music is allowed) and overtime my back and shoulders started to hurt from the repetitive work sitting down. It is also very difficult to get promoted/move to a different department in the company regardless of your degree and experience. Nepotism is huge here and sadly the really good jobs go to people who aren't necessarily the best workers or most qualified. For example, I have a STEM degree with experience and was one of the best accessioners and lost out on a better paying position in the company to someone with no degree and barely any experience because that person knew the interviewer. Regardless, it's a good company to get your beak wet but not great if you want to learn some real lab skills. I would have left anyways, but who knows maybe I would have stayed if I got that position.

Pros

-Some people in the company will have your back and give you a chance to show your skills -Some of the people here are very helpful(someone a lower level than me who probably should have been my level helped me so much)

Cons

-They promote negative competitions -You get a gift card like once a year and they tax it on your next check -Once we noticed salaried employees should get unlimited PTO across the company's policy; we all banded together- the loophole was to make us all hourly instead of giving us what the company offered for salary employees which they made us salary in 2 weeks after we fought the policy -The company makes many promises to everyone but can't keep it -CNs are what keeps this company afloat yet treated like slums -They hire and promote their friends in a short time while others fight for growth(not related to me but I have seen and heard some of the worse things from people who want to move up in this company. I wouldn't even dare try because they are becoming TOXIC) -They often use a group of their best employees for different things but never reward or promote them
