Pros

None that i would think about, work wise might be a good experince

Cons

I hated every day there, my manager was a weird male cheerleader who didn't like me and acted like little kids, everybody up there is weird and unwelcoming, i got fired without even a reason. Not just me but another college who was hired at the same time

Pros

From my hire date in 2009 the company was running well. Good employees. Lots of senior staff had been working for 10 plus years. Decent pay for an entry level job.

Cons

As the years went out more cuts were being made to save money. One of the best salesmen was laid off. And older staff were forced into early retirement. There is no respect for employees and very little promotion. Im assuming the new hires from last few years are getting paid less then the positions paid before. Company gives no references at all. And definitely a gentlemens club when it comes to senior management.

Pros

-Good experience for entry-level or temporary contract -You can get exposure to a lot of different areas if you put in the effort -It's a very interesting industry if you're interested in science and chemistry -Sometimes they'll take out employees for lunch or coffee, but they stopped doing that after budget was tightened

Cons

-Very unsafe, unfriendly, and toxic environment -Unsafe environment for females because male-dominated company -Lots of firings, unexpected let-gos, people quitting, replacing full time employees with temps, people disappearing and no real reasons are given -"No reference policy": if they give a reference letter, it will only have your original job description from when you started (no special projects or extra duties you took on), it's very difficult to get any kind of reference from management even if they admit your work was good -Management does not try to make professional relationships with employees
