Pros

Good environment. It's a good place to start out. I do not see myself working here past 5 years. Good place to develop experience.

Cons

There are no annual bonuses to Production Scientists. Raises are minimal. The company is very willing to invest a substantial amount of money on developing new products, but not developing the lifestyles or standard of living for the people behind the record success the company claims to have. It's really discouraging to look at other jobs and realize the benefits, salary, and perks you receive are the same as someone who has a 2 year degree or a high school diploma. The whole time I have worked here, I have felt undervalued, under-payed, and overworked. The only reason I am able to afford my standard of living is by consistently working overtime and micromanaging my money. This job does not value it's production scientist. No one complains because the environment and culture seems great.

Pros

Low pressure work environment, latitude to pursue your own initiatives and ideas. Most (not all) people are at least easy to get along with. Lots of time off, and opportunities to travel once you get above the level of button-pusher.

Cons

Hard to get above the level of button-pusher. Starting pay is not great, and promotions are rare, and usually only come about when someone above you gets tired of it and leaves. Younger company = younger management = less turnover in management positions. Middle management positions often seem to be decided on "who has been here the longest" basis, which in some cases means "who didn't have the ambition to look somewhere else for a job". Upper management seems to tie middle management's hands as far as raises and promotions are concerned, which speaks to a lack of trust bred from the wrong people being in the wrong positions.

Pros

Great experience for my last year of college, as the job was not mentally draining and had flexible scheduling. Hourly pay was above what I expected, and included the option for medical benefits.

Cons

Position offered little bench work - I would have been better suited for an internship. Communication was poor when trying to apply internally, and resulted in me leaving for another company. The pay for salaried positions was the lowest of my post-graduate offers.
