Unhealthy office culture

Pros

It's a job, that's about it.

Cons

Extremely micromanaging, while management generally doesn't actually know much about what their employees truly do. Pay is low compared to other companies in the area. Employees aren't given the tools they need to do their jobs properly, with management claiming cost as the issue. There's effectively no direction given; I started, and after being given a tour of the building and meeting a few people, was completely left to my own devices. No projects assigned, nothing whatsoever. Supervisors don't supervise and managers don't manage anything of actual importance. This is just a small sample, there's myriads of problems here, and none are addressed.

Not so good for science related staff

Pros

There is some independence. Its difficult to say much more than that.

Cons

The pay like others have mentioned is well below competitive or even median, currently im at the bottom 10% and have many years experience. Besides general pay bonuses are virtually non existent and raises if you get one are cents on the dollar. There is no real room for growth in lab positions. Management is mostly not the best and have a habit of not appreciating any kind of improvements or optimizing you make. Honestly this isnt a good place to consider a career, and hardly is good for experience, at least on the lab side of things cant say much for other areas.
