Pros

Always something to learn no matter where you work. Some additional skills to add to the resume. You'll know what it's like to work in a poorly functioning environment here and know what to look out for next time.

Cons

It's going to sound repetitive after reading the other reviews but the poor management and decision making by the CEO and Sales Manager have cost many people their jobs. It once was a well functioning company with steady growth. Expected to work long hours with no compensation for overtime and weekends (exempt) on a meager salary. It doesn't add up. Very understaffed lab and overstaffed management. It is a noisy and dirty lab that gets a "quick cleaning" when an audit is about to happen. Rapid and constant turnover in personnel.

Pros

The people are nice, for the most part. It's a job and you'll always have 40 hours a week. They rarely fire people.

Cons

You will never be promoted. The turnover rate is extremely high; most of the people that work there are temps so think about this before you accept full time employment with them. You will be underpaid. The management has little to no training and can be very juvenile. It is best to only work here temporarily until you find a good job.

A Great Resume Builder...Nothing More

Pros

Most of the employees are honest, hard-working people. The employees have great working relationships mostly because of the intense bond formed in the midst of such disaster. It's a great job to build your resume and get very impressive sounding things on it like Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry.

Cons

Pay is very low here compared with other area labs. Once you're hired, a standard annual raise is 2%. Bonuses are dependent on sales forecasts that are based on zero factual evidence and unrealistic growth expectations for a small company. The leadership (CEO) of the company needs to retire and let competent people run the business. Her lack of business sense and instability leave people scared for their jobs. Expressing opinions is totally against the rules (unless they agree with the CEO). There have been many hugely expensive attempts at new markets that have all failed miserably due to a lack of understanding about the environmental industry. If you are currently out of work and have no money, work there and feed your kids. Otherwise, keep looking.
