Pros

Shift differential was somewhat acceptable but hourly rate was subpar.

Cons

No leadership, shallow relationship between managerial staff and hourly workers, terribly long hours due to mandatory overtime without support. Only allowed a 30 minute break which is up to you to take when you please. Office people leave by 3pm and only people in the lab are the associates. 3 people who start at 3pm are in charge of closing up the lab in addition to preparing samples and doing QC/retain and decontamination no matter how late you have to stay. Extremely toxic place to work. College grads, don't fall for it. Get a better job elsewhere, they take advantage of the energy you have and use all they can get.

Pros

It has taught me what I do not want in an employer It gave me experience for way better opportunities It made me realize that being a good worker doesn’t always mean being rewarded

Cons

When injured from being overworked and exhausted , they treated me like trash When compassion fatigue hit— they judged and questioned whether I belonged there rather than understood People make up rumors about you even if you didn’t do anything (it’s like a catty high school in there) Having one bad day constitutes you getting pulled in the office to be scolded If you’re a good worker, and you get your stuff done efficiently, they stuff you with more work Many individuals treat the animals like trash and are covered up by management if they are the “favorites” Most of the trainers there are absolutely catty people and will talk behind your back if you’re “too slow” or “not learning fast enough”
