CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

-The coworkers are, for the most part, all very genuine people. -It's an entry level opportunity to develop your skills so that you can move on at a later time.

Cons

-Compensation and benefits are poor. -Focus is on investor value, not employee development. -Very hard to move up, or around within the company. -Many individuals on sales team are inept. -Management does very little to motivate employees, no incentives for good performance. -Many labs are understaffed, but the company would rather do more with less than hire a few more people, thus helping their bottom line. -Nothing ever changes, implementation takes too long.

Entry level company, not a career destination

Chemist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

This is a good entry level place to get into quickly and punch out one year of GMP/ISO manufacturing if you're straight out of school.

Cons

Little room for job advancement, very little actual innovation going on as opposed to expanding the applications of existing technologies, and the salaries are absolutely dismal. Normally industry is supposed to be less interesting but higher paying than academia, but in this case quite a few Michigan State graduate students probably get a higher stipend than their industry counterparts. The scientific literacy of most employees is questionable at best.

Pros

it's a job they pay you on time (most of the time) they use old abandoned school buildings thereby adding to lansing's recycling efforts

Cons

Bad pay employees do not get raises bad benefits no flex time no respect from upper management treated like a hamster not given a yearly bonus/reward/stock option/anything takes forever for anything to happen (request to upper management)
