Pros

Offered competitive pay compared to other labs I worked at. Nice facility, certain managers were caring

Cons

The high workload was hard to manage with constant instruments being uncooperative but the company didn’t want to put in the money to replace consumables. You can only do so much if you’re not willing to make repairs as needed. Expecting people to be able to just magically make things work by trying the same things over and over is not always going to work.

Pros

- Boss is good about taking vacation, doctors appointments, being sick - get a 0.50 cent pay increase every 6 months for 2 years - can get overtime hours if need more money

Cons

- management can't handle disputes well - toxic work environment - company promotes gossip and lies to get ahead - management has no HR training and can come off as rude/favors one employee over another regardless of work ethic - only get 6 paid holidays a year - will undergo furlows when not busy, cutting your work hours and thus your pay - don't get salary increases based on performance - low company morale
