Pros

Very flexible work hours, easy to talk to managers, a lot of initial training, gain more experience in 1 year than in 4 years of college

Cons

Work load equals too much work for too little pay. Underpaid at all levels, don't care if you have to work over time, only want job done don't care how long it takes you. I have no personal life.

Pros

Gated parking lot and large restrooms.

Cons

No bonuses. No pay raise in last 5 years. People are quitting like crazy. At one point there wasnt enough staff to cover the shifts. Very high turn-over. By the time you finish training someone they are sick of the way the company and managers treat them and they quit. They do not keep anything private. You will find out who gets fired or written up 2-3 days in advance!!! There is too much mess, backstabbing, gossip, and trouble. Don't get me started on the amount of accidents that have occurred and the integrity of the results reported. If you do decide to work here make sure you ask exactly for the money you want or x5 more, because you will get it because no one wants to work here.They hire people with no experience because no one is willing to work here or stay long enough before they have time to fill another position. Doesn't matter how much you get paid you not be able to endure the way things work around here. Someone threaten to come to work and blow up the facility because he was too stressed about the job. Everyone was scared!!

Pros

An OK place to pick up experience and leave. Co-workers are civil Multiple year contracts with state agencies allows for some stability

Cons

Upper management fails to learn from their mistakes. Management has extremely poor communication skills. Management likes to gossip about their employees. Management's favorite quote - 'You should be happy you have a job'
