EMSL Analytical reviews

Horrible benefits; Really bad pay; Horrible work life balance; no real room for movement; Stressful when busy; beyond boring when dead; Rules that don't make sense; Being on call is by far the worst experience because of how rarely you actually get called in; plus being available 24/7 for clients when they tell you they could wait is unbearable; Just overall a very unfulfilling job experience.

Hard to understand how this company stays in business, other than the owner's deep pockets. He owns lots of commercial real estate in addition to EMSL. Large amounts of available cash seem to offset the dubious management, marketing, HR, and accounting policies that would have sunk another company long ago. EMSL is held together by a relative handful of competent individuals, but you won't find any competence in upper management, HR, or accounting. These people excel at blame shifting and throwing employees under the bus. Nepotism, cronyism and mediocrity thrive there. You won't succeed on merit, by being sharp, or working hard. You'll only make it if if you are family, a friend, or they happen to like you, which seems as random as a coin toss. If they don't immediately like you on day one they never will.
