Very low compensation

Pros

They matched 401k from the start, and job security is good.

Cons

Extremely low pay compared to the rest of the industry. I received a 35% pay increase to my base salary when I left the company. Received no sick time, employees would have to use vacation days or come in sick. There was very little work-life balance, they frequently requested OT days even when there was no real need. Middle management was very poor, some days I would receive no work from either of my supervisors (yes plural), and on other days they would double book my work. Our manager did not even know our names. Instead of using mistakes as a learning experience, they would use anything and everything against you to dock your bonus. They fired a girl from our department and failed to tell us for about 3 weeks.

Pros

Nice people work at Eurofins. Most of the people there are doing their job everyday and working hard to support their families.

Cons

Very poor management. Low pay. No promotions. Overwork and underpay employees. Do not deal with personnel issues, so problems increase over time. Very rarely does Management discipline employees when rules are broken, even when it's an HR issues. Managers mistreat or talk down to employees regularly because they were never trained to be managers. Most of the mangers are a good scientists, but very poor at managing people. Some employees often break the rules and are not fired, which upsets the other employees. Employees are expected to work long hours and most departments are understaffed.

Pros

Steady paycheck nice vacation time.

Cons

The metrics will depress you. They are impossible to achieve with the systems in place. You have to remember 1001 things at one time and you are responsible for an error even if it goes through 3 other people. There is no investment in equipment, IT or support. Management bullies and threatens everyone. Miracles are expected to happen daily and yet do not pay anywhere close to make it worth it. Management counts on inexperienced and eager youths with big debts to get the work done. Great if you are 23 not so great if you are 40 with a family. Oh and you have a great vacation package but you work it all back anyway. What is a vacation day when you work 10 hours OT every week.
