Pros

The people I work with are really great people. They are all willing to help you learn and grow at the company and as a person.

Cons

My hands have the skin ripped off of them every day in order to do the work. The pace is relentless in second shift, and you can expect to have at least some overtime every day. However, day shift is much more relaxed and has a significantly reduced volume of work. DCM readily pierces nitrile gloves and stings like needles piercing your skin. The pay is minimal and increases every time your increase your knowledge but, that still doesn't make the pay feasible for living on one's own until after 1 to 1.5 years of working at the company. Finally, for me, the drive, 1 hour and 20 minutes, makes working here almost the only thing I do Monday through Friday.

Great benefits compared to other companies. Overall a great team and a good place to work.

Cons

Operations not always in sync with sales efforts. SGS (Life Sciences) tends to pay slightly less than average industry standard.

Get paid until you find another job then move from there as fast as you can.

Poor management, poor communication, no bonuses, no real cost-of-living raises, biggest turnover that I have ever seen anyplace else, constant almost physical fights with the other departments,etc etc etc.......
