- Management got switched around about 3 times in the 6ish months I was there.
- Management is overworked and stressed, and is partially chosen out of seniority, not who would actually run a good lab, so they're not always the best.
- Management throws you in the deep end, provides very poor training, but gets annoyed when asking for help. I'd end up doing things on my own without help, thinking I was doing them correctly, when in reality I was all wrong and then I'd have people displeased with me.
- "every man for himself" kind of vibe
- Everyone in my lab was silent. I could go a whole work week without talking to anyone
- Broken(?) thermostat, so I was constantly working in a hot, humid lab.
- Likely alot of mold and other spores in the air since I was in a physically wet lab. Not necessarily their fault but I was pretty sick and had bad skin issues the whole time.
- Either no work at all and you had to look busy, or so much work you lost sleep over it at night.
- Weird red-tape over the smallest things
- Utilizes temporary workers and interns so they don't have to hire and give real pay or benefits.
- Managment were passive aggressive and too afraid to actually manage. Had a manager who was "super nice" but was a huge gossiper, and when called out for not being helpful during a staff meeting quit the day of.
- Messy promotion, and many were doing more than their job description, effectively being the next position up, but still getting base pay.
- Genuinely everyone I knew in my lab was miserable.
- My lab was the one where they put everyone that they didn't want in other labs anymore. It was the throwaway lab.
