Battelle reviews

Don't count on any benefits that you may think you may receive after your career. As a retiree many benefits we worked so hard for over the last 30 plus years are being down graded or eliminated entirely. Job security is also non-existent. Have seen so many upper level managers RIF or let employees go only to make their bottom line look better.

Long and early days in the field wear you down after a while. Schedule changes constantly due to the nature of working outside with living things. Benefits aren't great just technically offered. Pay isn't enough to keep most techs around more than 2-3 seasons because it's a physically difficult job and there's lots of travel so work-life balance can be tough. Although NEON is a "N"etwork it often felt that headquarters insisted on forcing sometimes futile efforts for the sake of maintaining consistency although we clearly had serious difficulties doing things that way based on ecological differences across the country.
