      Pros

      The lower level employee's are like family,very conciderate of others.

      Cons

      Certain managers treat individuals differantly than others as far as promotions. It should be based on merits and past experience and performance reviews not on who they are firends with. Certain areas there is intimidation, managers towards employee's Certain areas,a blind eye is applied to certain actions of emplyee's but others are held accountable for their actions by mangers. ie one sided views and disiplinary actions.

      Pros

      The people that I work with are some of the best technicians I've ever worked with. Very skilled technicians, hard working, and great talent. The job duties itself are pretty amazing you learn a lot about a lot of things. The work load is really crazy. Its a sink or swim type of place.

      Cons

      Upper management are the worst. Bar Harbor I hear is a great place to work, but thats not the case in sacramento. You have to beg for supplies that you need. People are expected to over see 10-15 different studies, and do technical work and not make mistakes. Management has said they were going to make changes to make the technicians life better. . . lies! Really the worst thing is that we are over worked and underpaid. Under appreciated is the life at Jax -west.

      Pros

      The people care very much about the mission and non-profit work. Working at the Lab has the potential to give back to the medical and pharmaceutical communities in a big way.

      Cons

      The services part of the lab is very conservative and is incapable of growth. Any change or initiative is seen as a risk and is to be avoided at all costs.
