Pros

Fun atmosphere, the lab is geared to college graduates who've never had a really lab job which is also why their pay is terrible. But the other lab techs were great and the reason I stayed longer than I should have. Also a flexible start time between 4:30 and 7 am was nice.

Cons

Management had no idea what they were doing, there wasn't even an HR representative when I was there to go to with complaints because their turn over is so high. The supervisor had no clue how to lead a team or manage people. Pay is awful and not competitive but they area geared towards college kids who don't know any better. They are constantly understaffed because no one wants to stay there. It's a dead end job with no real carrear path. Also they don't appreciate or acknowledge people who work their butts off to help the company, its litterally a popularity contest with the supervisors to get promoted and even then when they promise a promotion they may not give it to you (but will make you take on all the responsibilities of the position they aren't giving you.) Really sad, because the work is interesting and it's a very young lab so it's fun to work in. Also they give you x amount of PTO which you can use throughout the year. But then if you leave the company and have taken more off than you've actually accrued they take it out of your last paycheck. (Even though the supervisors have to approve all PTO)

Pros

Generous holidays, there's really no other positive things to say about Neogen. This place is a really terrible place to work for.

Cons

Compensation is terrible, management does not know what they are doing or what is going on. Management does not hire the best person for the job, the promote friends or sycophants. This entire place is backwards and they've got a nice view of their rectums.
