Pros

no pros to list for this company really. running joke was that Lady of Lourdes was gonna have an EMSL wing in 30 years due to all of the spills/contaminations

Cons

horrible work environment, medical benefits are a joke, no real chance for advancement, at least 3 asbestos contaminations while I worked there. lab was not properly filtered so the same thing they were running tests on was just coming back into the building.

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

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.
