Management Rotting LGC from the Inside

Pros

-Actual flexibility when you have dr appts during the work day -Remote working eventually became an option -The individuals that I worked with were incredible people before they all quit for better opportunities -Very good benefits, almost everything that I needed was covered and I barely spent anything on healthcare

Cons

-They've been testing sports supplements for almost 20 years and every day feels like the first day, every situation that arises feels like the first time it has ever been dealt with, there are NO solid processes for anything -Even before they fired everyone, there was CONSTANT turnover. Good employees would leave to get decent pay or because they couldn't stand the lab manager anymore. -Management treats every scrap of info as top secret for some reason (though maybe that was because they planned on firing everyone) -Management doesn't understand how woefully underpaid everyone was -The owners of the conglomerate that owns LGC are investment bankers so they expect ever-increasing returns from LGC despite investing absolutely no money in the company -As the headcount plummeted, everyone was expected to just start picking up slack everywhere -The culture at LGC was to point fingers when things go wrong -Every single time someone new got hired (or in the rare case someone was promoted), they would come in and try their best to institute order in the team and it never worked because no matter how much you try to be perfect you're working with other teams who are having constant turnover

Pros

Entire week of Christmas off, good health insurance, flexible hybrid schedule

Cons

Indifferent and dishonest management, shifting priorities, massive downsizing, and undependable. I was hired to work here and left a good job/company that I had been at for more than 4 years. They knowingly hired people for positions even when they knew the business was facing a downturn. They then fired these people by lying and saying they had not met their goals when in actuality they purposefully created roadblocks so they wouldn't have to provide unemployment benefits. Please do not work here. They have had massive layoffs. Upper management exists in crystal towers and doesn't care that they are actively recruiting people for roles that will be eliminated months later. Also, they can't agree on goals causing the goal posts to shift constantly.
