Long hours, pay not commensurate with experience, Corporate is incompetent.
Pros
Good starter job to gain experience before going to work for a real company. The other lab techs are great, always need someone to share your misery. Good PTO packages when you can use them.
Cons
Long hours--cut hourly hours and work the salaried employees to death, 50+ hours is the norm. Work around the clock to customer expectations means no real set hours, just schedule on the go. No backup plans when systems fail or worker shortage, just suck it up and work longer. Getting a write-up after working a 16hr day because paperwork wasn't completed. Company promises a performance review and expectations are that a raise might follow--NOPE, your reward for a year's hard work is an Employee Christmas dinner and then another year of slave labor. Bonus's for Tech III or higher--laughable bonuses and they get smaller every year, if you get one at all. Corporate can't decide how to manage--one year a big HR department is hired for growth, the next year HR is gutted because no growth occurred. Corporate spends money on parties, but neglects the important items like benefits and employee raises. Benefits--great if you're single, spouse or family--forget it, cost is outrageous. FSNS claims to be a family friendly company--maybe they meant part of their family, I never saw mine. Corporate can't keep their good employees because they never listen! The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results--they don't get it!
