Pros

Benefits.. that’s about it now.

Cons

Management and upper management is out of touch with reality. The care for the fellow employees is non-existent now. All they care about is time, making up time, don’t be late, you are rewarded for being a hard working employee by given more work, work load is not even throughout the rooms, and you get a “meets expectations” for hard work and the person who does minimal gets the same. Accountability seems to be a word that’s not allowed to be said or heard throughout the lab. They do not care what you are battling outside of work as a person like they used to, or have any compassion for that with the new CEO. If you want a fast paced environment, it works for you, but there is no repercussion for those that don’t want to do the basics of their job.

Pros

Good pay and benefits are decent

Cons

Long commutes with tight time accountability due to newer rules. No more leniency for weather or traffic related tardiness that is common in Maine. Constantly changing rules and expectations are making the job impossible. Failure to meet new expectations lead to no finishes or raises or tuition reimbursement. Forced overtime in Ellsworth location with so.e employees being sent from Bar Harbor to cover. Seems like a sinking ship and I would not recommend anyone I liked for a job here.
