Really couldn't care less about employees

Lab coordinator

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- relaxed atmosphere - friendly coworkers - hands-on work

Cons

- benefits aren't great - hasn't kept up with the market, *extremely* low pay - Middleton site has gone through 3 rounds of firing multiple people in 2023 alone, and is openly planning another one. Not based remotely on work value or performance, not because the company isn't doing well (it's hitting record profits) but to make shareholders happy.

Business Outlook

Pros

Exceptional work-life balance with minimal pressure to meet quotas. Management demonstrates a keen understanding of the fluctuations in quarterly sales. The commercial side of the business remains highly adaptable to change, constantly seeking innovative approaches to equip the sales team with cutting-edge selling techniques and fostering personal and professional development.

Cons

Significant operational inefficiencies hinder productivity. There are instances where our focus shifts more towards internal inquiries and administrative tasks rather than direct customer engagement. Additionally, the slow release of new products and consistently flawed launches pose challenges for the team
