Pros

Amazing work in the biotech and the advancements made me proud to be here. I also helped a lot of people while here and enjoyed all my employees.

Cons

* Very toxic work environment - did not realize how much so until I was away from here. So much drama and everyone is only working for themselves and not for the good of the whole. * No room for advancement - the only way to get a decent raise is to be promoted but those opportunities are far and few between * Leadership does not listen to concerns and only wants "Yes" people - if you try to say no or explain why things can't happen, they will not listen. * No work-life balance - expected to work 24/7 with no holidays and if in a supervisor role, you'll be working on your days off * CEO has no idea what happens within the company as far as its employees are concerned * No real recognition for good work

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.
