Pros

The company has quickly provided benefits and pay, but this may be in the process of changing as the corporation plans to hire more contractors to avoid paying these things.

Cons

There are no coworkers, i.e., everyone is a supervisor and upset that you haven't completed their site's tasks. This is frustrating because you cannot submit overtime, which would actually make up for their demands. This also makes everyone hate you, and sometimes I feel like they are looking for a fall guy. The commute is terrible as well, and takes up hours and hours of personal time every day. It is also frustrating to set up a field laboratory to run tests with neighbors looking at you as if you are Walter White or something. It is frustrating to carry so many bags in and out every day and evening while supervisors are texting, emailing, and generally angry at you for not entering data, but while running water tests with gloves, this isn't GxP.

Pros

The pros are four day work week 10 hour days, with many Fridays volunteer overtime They try to make a friendly environment

Cons

The pay is not as good as the other places around the area – odd for a fortune 200 company Daily quotas on work – some of them are unrealistic Many department supervisors – a.k.a. “coaches “ are pretty good – one or two are not. Typically these are the ones that have been there for 25 years plus. 20 minute break in the morning, 20 minute break for lunch 10 minute break in the afternoon You are truly on your feet for majority of the 10 hour day The corporation tries to make a friendly environment, but very few employees involve themselves in it. Much backstabbing among line workforce, not a healthy environment. Line workforce runs to supervisors constantly about other people when they should be concerned about their own work. Management has their favorites and you could see that by who who they talk to, and who Brown noses them
