Pros

There are some decent, hardworking people are employed by the company. The instrument technology seems well received by those who use it. It's an OK employment option if you are willing to keep your head down, and just keep plodding along.

Cons

Management and owner seem to care little about the folks who are really keeping the company going. There is a general feeling that employees are mainly working to line the pockets of the owner and a handful of upper level executives. No real promotion path. Promises are made with no intention of keeping them. Software tools and procedures that would make tasks more efficient are inexplicably absent. CEO displays unprofessional behavior at times, making it difficult to feel positive about the company.

Pros

I get to eat outside when its warm and the free coffee is decent I guess.

Cons

1. The building is designed like a psychiatric ward. There are no windows and there is no decor on the walls. CEO doesn't like when we put things on the walls. Really weird. 2. Management is just not good. They don't understand HIPPA or employee privacy; additionally they lack empathy. 3. Safety is not safe at all. they treat their job like they are supposed to micromanage and nitpick certain individuals on the first floor but people on the second floor walk around wearing no PPE. 4. Management cannot handle any level of push back. If the boss says the sky is blue and you say no I think its cyan, youre fired the next day. They LOVE to fire people for pushback but let people who treat people nasty hang around. 5. The roaches....thats the comment 6. Just a little bit of racist energy and its not good. They dont appreciate black workers and it shows blatantly STAY AWAY. 7. PTO sucks. 8. Unless you are outside of a minority group, there is a ceiling and you will reach it quickly. No room for upward mobility if you dont bear the color they desire.
