Business Outlook

Pros

Great pay and Flexible hours

Cons

The Technology department employees are close minded bullies. High school mentality and outright harassment are prominent. No education or experience required to hold positions of responsibility. Processes and results are not reliable and I have personally witnesses employees falsifying data. Dangerous chemicals and little regard for safety measures such as using PPE are taken into account.
