Pros

I wish I had something good to say. I guess if you want to use this place as a first job - then you'll know what kind of company you won't want to work for again.

Cons

Management sees lab staff as completely disposable. Raises are non-existent or a total joke so lock in a wage you can live with when you start! There is no career development - but they'll gladly give you more to do for no more money - ever.

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.
