Pros

They allowed me to shift my work hours to 10-6 to avoid traffic. I had my own work station.

Cons

Everything the other negative reviews say is true. The pseudoscience practiced by EMSL is shady. QC is falsified by established workers and all other employees run the risk of unexplained "lay offs" or forced transfers. Errors are not recorded and management works really hard to appear busy. My manager took 3-4 long lunch breaks a day and spend most of the day kissing up to corporate. Cross training is difficult to get approved. The company likes to keep employees disposable and training time is minimal. Upper management is disgusting and completely unethical. This was my WORST job experience EVER! Do not work here and do not trust any sample results submitted to this company.
