Horrible management, principal investigator

Pros

I agree with the other post on how bad on how terrible management and integrity of scientific values are. Some principal investigator treatment of employees really bad, not tearm work. Demanding the impossible in work, and overwhelming stressful workplace (physically and mentally, as a result so many injuries are happening). Over working hour in the weekend and they believe in favoritism and quantity over quality.

Cons

Over working hour in the weekend and they believe in favoritism and quantity over quality.

Pros

Jax is a great place to get some experience and build a resume or college application. The mission is great. Good benefits.

Cons

Lack of respect, very low wages, slow advancement if at all depending on funding for the lab you work in.
