Pros

Great environment to work in with very supportive management and coworkers. Free catering every other day.

Cons

Most employees start as a CDO and enter the company there and try to work their way up into another position, however it is fairly difficult to move up. Many CDOs I have worked with have been in the same position for years and have not been considered, thus there is a high turn over rate for employees. The work is very long and tedious and calls for additional hours of overtime at the end of everyday. Due to the company growing there is more more work for the accessioning/CDOs department to do and unfortunately there is only one shift and all work for the day must be finished. This forces many CDOs to overwork more often than not. This department also has very strict rules that do not allow much flexibility. No work life balance.

Pros

Benefits, pay, and catered lunch orders every shift. Company currently growing and seeking to expand its operations. Will learn plenty in lab with the training--opened my eyes to how biotech industry can work with this being my first professional role.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with less consideration for slower coworkers, coworkers that felt cliquey, and management that seemed distant and unapproachable. Getting along with coworkers was the toughest part for me. Some coworkers seemed unapproachable. Had trouble feeling a sense of belonging on the team with seemingly constant critique about my performance with very little mentioning of people seeing improvement.
