Pros

-Well sometimes it is hard to find them honestly .. I would say okay amount of vacation time, but fairly standard for most full time positions like this. -Get to learn/develop chemistry skills/knowledge

Cons

This place is cheap period: Same starting pay for someone with a college degree as someone out of high school? Look, we make this company millions in revenue every year, and some departments actually require technical skills and knowledge. You would be hard pressed to find a company or industry that gives worse compensation for work being done. Mandatory overtime. I am basically on call. Which is fine, if I were making good money. Which I am not. Workload is disproportionately shouldered by a few hard workers.. Turnover is ridiculous because no one wants to work like a robot for this company while not being compensated well. Especially when many have student loans. I am basically at poverty level working here with college degree. Also, the fact that Eurofins only invests money in infrastructure when things start to fall apart, literally. AC unit is constantly breaking down.. Leaks from various parts in ceiling, exhaust smoke back flowing into "clean" intake air, that we then get to breath in. Yippee. These are not exaggerations, and not lies. This is truly my experience working here. Only reason I stayed here was to gain experience and maybe fall into an easy salary job which I frequently saw happen to people who did the least to begin with. Well that didn't happen and upper mobility, at my location at least, is zero to none. Unless you want to do even more work to begin with to just be gaining back what you lost from inflation in a year.

Pros

Flexible about PTO and decent benefits. Had really good coworkers.

Cons

When management is bad, its real bad. Makes it real difficult to work with the micromanaging, lack of support and appreciation, and incompetent management that rather protect egos than worrying about unsustainable employee turnover rates.
