Pros

Coworkers in the lab Experience for straight out of college

Cons

Upper management is out of touch, they don’t know anything going on inside the lab and make business decisions that make no sense. If you mess up ONE time, you don’t get your bonus and your merit raise is reduced for the following year. They get rid of half the lab staff and wonder why lab techs can’t release results in time. When something happens, they point fingers at supervisors and leads, there’s no job security when you eventually climb the ladder. They won’t increase anyone’s pay but they will force you to do mandatory overtime shifts because they are so behind due to getting rid of half their staff due to budget costs. But they keep getting more clients and busier every day. They pay techs and supervisors and QA terribly and promise promotions when years later say they don’t have enough money to open those positions. They can’t even pay for your pizza party for morale. Do yourself a favor and don’t work here, if you do, struggle for a max of a year to add to your resume and get out of there.

Pros

It’s a great first job, you will get a lot of training.

Cons

Pay is absolutely unacceptable, promotions are not metric based, just where your name falls on the list and if your group leaders like you or not. Too much stress for too little pay. You’re constantly being rushed to meet TAT but quality matters right? Management does not care to change things, in all the years of its existence nothing has been standardized within business units or outside.
