Pros

Good 401K plan. You get to leave at the end of the day.

Cons

Low pay; very little cohesion between the head quarter and the other large Quest plants. Politics of the one-size-fits all has considerably affected the satellite companies, particularly those specializing in esoteric testing. Bullying occurs often and is not addressed seriously by HR. At equivalent competencies, titles and performances, women are often paid 20% less than their maie counterpart and need to achieve twice as much to be promoted.

Pros

Pay is higher than most in the area. Hours are good. Benefits are good.

Cons

It’s very difficult to get time off for anything, regardless of how much vacation time you have. Only 15% of those hours will carry over and you lose what you’ve worked for and weren’t able to use. Not enough floats to cover the territory so people can actually get time off. Pay raises aren’t very good.
