Pros

Co-workers and lab management are generally nice and personable. Easy to get a job; because they always need to replace the last employee who wised up and quit. Not much else.

Cons

This place is an absolute house of horrors to work at. Every employee is expendable; and as other reviewers have said, you're not going to see much in the way of actual raises or promotions. You have no real future at Eurofins. To avoid droning on about everything that is drastically wrong here, I'll just make a nice list of the major issues this place poses its workers: -Understaffed departments with excessive workloads lead to a great deal of overtime -Hours change at the drop of a hat, meaning that what little time you have away from this place is impossible to predict -Equipment frequently malfunctions or needs replaced; bogs down workflow -Wal-mart like turnover rate decreases morale and effectiveness -Pay is beyond laughable. I made more per hour at a part time retail job in college. Benefits are expensive for what little coverage they provide -Excessive cost cutting measures hinder productivity

Pros

some of the people were nice

Cons

literally everything else. I can only speak for one of the UK branches but I came straight out of a science degree into this and please don't ever make my mistake of taking the first job that seemed alright. I had no training at all but was still expected to know everything. In my second day I had to take on the workload of two people and was expected to finish it before midnight, yes, midnight which was barely possible. They changed my contract after a few days because they offered me a nicer one originally and then when I left my other job they changed it to ridiculous hours and I just had to accept it. The manager never even said a word to me and all the other staff were planning to leave. TOXIC environment. Don't do it to yourself. I left and now I have a graduate role. It's worth waiting, honestly. One of the workers had the same degree as me and was on 15k salary for ten years. No prospects and horrendous working environment.
