Only because..."What else is there?" - Technician The Jackson Laboratory Employee Review

Congested traffic 6 months of the year. Place people in positions of authority that have no ability to deal with people. Management has a "good-ole'-boys" mentality. COO with severe Napoleon complex. - more concerned about himself/salary/getting ahead than others. He is there to be served by the organization...not to serve the organization. Management doesn't like people who think for themselves...they only want a "yes" person. Their excuse for wanting a "yes" person is "customer service". Management knows that there isn't much in this area and exploits the fact. CEO (Liu) is dis-connected and either doesn't see COO's (Charles Hewett) poor management practices or doesn't care. They like to hire outside and pay a lot more than people doing the same jobs for longer periods of time. Some departments have 50 people and of that 50 are 21 managers....talk about a leaning tower! 'Hand-picked' and created jobs for senior management's favorite people.
