Pros

-Flexible vacation time -Flexible hours -Knowledgeable employees. -The pay could be worse but it certainly could be a lot better.

Cons

-Incredibly lazy management - most do absolutely nothing all day while you toil over mounds of work. -Horrible benefits - $280/mo for the cheapest plan. -No advancement - the only way you'll get a promotion is if your manager dies or you marry into the EMSL family. -Raises are usually a lousy 2-3% a year. If you make $15-$18/hr, that's like .20 - .30 cents. -Nepotism is unreal. All the higher ups have their husbands, wives, daughters and sons in high paying positions. -Questionable safety guidelines for a hazardous environment. -I'm yet to meet a manager who deserves their job.

Pros

Great bosses, structured support from corporate office, workload is manageable compared to other labs I’ve worked for, overall culture is good

Cons

Benefits and pay aren’t great, particularly the benefits, they’re a little pricey and outside of preventative care, don’t cover enough imho, 401k is very low to where it’s almost nonexistent

Business Outlook

Pros

- Job is straightforward - Management is pretty lax

Cons

- Lacks managerial oversight - Very little PTO - Unsafe - If you do not have a Bachelor's Degree, you will probably not be advancing very far at this company. Management will lead you on, but will always give preferential treatment (bonuses, analyst positions, etc.) to people with more schooling.
