Pros

Great coworkers, secure employment, growth

Cons

Insulting pay! Some employees have been with the company for over 8 years and still make only $2 - $3 above minimum wage. Every employee below management level is underpaid. They will refuse to pay what you deserve regardless of the fact that you will be overworked because they want to save money by keeping hiring to a minimum. They will ignore your bonus if you don't ask for it. You're working to feed big investors with zero return and they will rub it in your face every quarter to tell you the company makes millions more and you only see about a 20 cent raise out of it after making $11/hour for 3 years with a Bachelors Degree. You will live in your parent's basement forever if you don't die first from the asbestos is all the old buildings the company is located in. The work environment is filled with frustrated employees. All who depend on each other to make a day at work endurable. Very high turnover. Everyone quits, no one gets fired. You will start looking for another job in 2 weeks. Unprofessional environment. Very laid back, employees get away with anything such as coming to work late, watching YouTube and sports on the computers while there is work to be done, treating customers poorly, terrible attitude towards work, vanishing for hours at a time with no explanation, taking extended lunch hours, and the list goes on. Usually these are the odd ones out who disrupt teamwork and nothing is done to rectify the situation even with multiple complaints. Do not work here if you are interested in a career. It's not even like a real job. Lack of recognition. Lack of appreciation. A complete morale killer. On the bright side they will buy you a half a sub from the crappiest sub shop in Michigan once in a while. Lots of false advertising. No reference to the fact that every employee is only there for a steady paycheck at 30 - 60 % les than what they will make elsewhere. Listen to the majority of reviews here. I would challenge neogen to interview each employee outside of management and publish the reviews. DON'T DO IT.

Good starter job, but be prepared to move on

Pros

Remote option is fantastic. If you’re an independent worker with knowledge of ag and computers, it’s an easy easy job. Good place to learn a lot and make early career moves. They offer some tuition assistance, so it’s a good job to have to work on a post grad. Good option if you have no work experience, too, like fresh out of school.

Cons

The team is always understaffed and underpaid. The workload and pressure is insane for what it is. The starting salary is 40k usually, and you will have to fight tooth and nail to maybe get more than a grand for an annual raise. Upper management has no idea about the workload or what the team actually does, and corporate doesn’t care (obviously). The company refuses to increase wages, and plays dumb about why they can’t keep turnover down. If you don’t burn out in a year or two, you can move up just a little, but be ready to teach yourself new skills if you want to move laterally.
