Pros

Good autonomy at letting the individual labs manage the high work load. Good work/life balance. Few knowledgeable middle managers that were in the same trench as the underlings. If you have a pulse you can get a job here.

Cons

Poor structure from a family of husband and wives of upper management. Managers can't manage. This company expects low level work to be done by the managers. Next to none in terms of support from family managers only interested in themselves. Poor professional development and job satisfaction. Dirty and hazardous work.

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.
