Pros

The people here are great. The compensation & perks used to be great!

Cons

Stress, Stress, Stress No promotions, No personal growth, work-life balance the life part of it no longer exists. Management still thinks this is the greatest place in the world to work at "WRONG" most people here don't trust management anymore and are actively looking to move on! still too much of the good ole boys club, if your in good with your dept. manager you got it made, the rest of us have to take up their slack! lab leads & managers here are a joke!
