Pros

No set time on when you can arrive/leave which is very flexible (this was only because I had a very unusual schedule). Vacation time is nice and never had a problem taking off when I needed.

Cons

This is hands down the worst place I have ever worked in my entire life. Unless you are family or are friends with upper management then you will never get anywhere in this company. I have been with this company for a year and a half and I still haven't even gotten as much as a “thank you” for my hard work and dedication. It is a very unsafe and dangerous lab if you could even call it a lab.

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.
