Pros

• Pays its employees very well. • Provides a sense of security to its employees in their work environment when working in a not so great area of town. • Provides very generous benefit options to its employees.

Cons

• Management avoided walking by me in the hallways to avoid talking to me on multiple occasions. I would ask to meet with them to discuss my position and goals on multiple occasions, but was ignored every time. • When applying for other internal positions I was never met with to talk about my interest in other positions. An old manager approached me at one point to tell me that a current manager of mine had communicated to not consider me for any positions at all. When asking to meet about this I was ignored yet again. • Incredibly lazy lab staff. About a third to half of the lab staff was notorious for doing nothing with most of their time. They would constantly be sitting around talking, eating, or playing on their phones.

The culture here is so toxic that it makes the military look like a vacation. At least in the military, there’s structure and a sense of purpose. Here? It’s pure chaos. Leadership operates with a ‘do as I say, not as I do’ mentality, micromanaging every aspect of your work while offering zero support. You’ll constantly be forced to take on responsibilities far beyond your job description, with no additional compensation or recognition. The turnover rate is through the roof for a reason—nobody with self-respect sticks around for long. If you value your sanity, run
