Good entry level job to gain some experience. Not great for longevity for your career nor long term happiness

Pros

Great place to gain some entry level experience. Depending on your peers, may be a semi positive environment but again heavily dependent on your peers. I was very fortunate to work with a great manager who had the best interests of everyone in mind but they were the only thing keeping the department together and running.

Cons

Very below average pay for an entry level job. Benefits are decent but do not make up for the wage gap. The place has a large disconnect with management and their subordinates. Overall get in, get your experience, and go somewhere with better pay, benefits and something where the people don't dread being there every day.

Pros

Good with PTO days / benefits.

Cons

When I first started at Neogen, management treated everyone with respect/ valued employees and their input. Once Mr. Herbert retired, everything turned to crap. It got REALLY bad during Covid. Any manager that was decent left. They hired a miserable tyrant that had no clue on how to treat employees with decades of experience. She bullied supervisors until they quit. Tried to bully all long term employees. Anytime we would complain to HR….they were like deer caught in headlights. Nothing would be done. They would tell us ‘the situation was handled’. But nothing would change. I finally got out when the manager said, ‘if you don’t like it, find something else!’ It took a few months, but I did. $12k increase in pay. Ironic thing is, I never would have even looked had the management style and culture remained the same. Apparently, they do not have any qualms about high turn over.
