Pros

Great benefits, great vacation time (20 days for new hires), and depending on your boss, a decent way to start out in the analytical chemistry industry.

Cons

Salary here is a joke. Incredibly stingy with annual raises. Discourage managers from giving 5-star reviews of employees (thus lowering your chance of getting a higher raise). Very poor communication between managers and chemists. Absolutely no chance of upward mobility (you may be promoted from Lab Tech to chemist but that is about it). Do not stay here for more than a couple years, you could easily get a much better job!

Pros

You can learn quite a bit because you will be expected to pitch in where ever needed. It really comes down to who your boss is on whether you will have an enjoyable experience. You get to work from home whenever you like.

Cons

Poor communication. Everything is always in flux. Always to threat of layoffs Very unorganized No processes in place Lots of people who delegate and not enough worker bees (Very top heavy organization)

Management is useless

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits and pricing Stepping stone positions, then move to competitor Some groups have good middle management, others not so much.

Cons

Horrible upper management Roll out decisions from a "global" level that screw the people actually having to do the work. Upper mgmt just checks boxes to get their bonuses while the worker bees do everything under heavy scrutiny with absolutely NO help. Awful on boarding and no new hire training offered. HR is non existent. Use an employee service team that's useless. No one can answer your questions. No uniform processes. Be ready do to go to work daily and get beat down if you are a goal oriented over achiever. Not the place for any good employee. They'll under appreciate your work.
