Neogen reviews

Even if you are excellent at putting out said fires, your NEOGEN career will consist of taking care of messes left by inept management or under resourced teams. You will likely receive no recognition, monetary or verbally, for driving excellence. This sounds negative, but the reality is a lack of alignment on priorities and an honest assessment of resources required to achieve these priorities is not currently present in the organization.

They do not prioritize employees, lab techs specifically. Corporate doesn’t know (still, several years after it was instituted) that techs work weird shifts and weird hours (10hr days Sun-Wed, Wed-Sat) so if a holiday falls on the weekend good luck getting it off. Supervisors do not know their platforms and that’s how Neogen likes it. They only want supervisors that they can manipulate, it doesn’t matter what skills they have. When I say most of them are dead inside and do not advocate for the people they manage, it is no exaggeration. I saw nepotism, favoritism, gaslighting, straight up lying (all from supervisors/management). They say they’ll give you bonuses (for example, they offer a referral bonus) but you will likely never see that money. I never saw mine. No one at this company knows how to communicate. I’ve seen managers communicating negatively with a person over Facebook and they were never reprimanded. Instead of firing people who absolutely should be fired, they ignore the issues or they give them a lateral new position.
