This place should be acquired by a real company

Pros

This place constitutes a very good model to study nepotism should anybody need one. Since they always want more money, maybe they should market themselves as such and get benefits for the Frascas and their very extended facility.

Cons

No respect for employees. Low pay. Poor benefits. They employ any family member that needs a job irrespective of their qualification or knowledge (and they excel at not having much of either for whatever reason). The work can be hazardous at times, poor hoods, exposure to chemicals, construction dust. Working here makes you lose the self-respect, they make you feel worthless. They treat female employees inferior to males in the same position, unless, again, you are somehow related to the family. Somebody in the company had a good idea to make a suggestions box that would help improve the place. The management squashed the initiative very quickly, they did not like the feedback.

Pros

In the beginning I had flexibility, but that changed with a so called promotion. Every lab is run differently and the managers have no rights only corporate holds the power.

Cons

Keeps the industry pay low, wants college grads to work for peanuts. Makes people feel like slaves, wants high numbers but then makes you do Stupid things that impose on the time you had to analyze.

No Career Potential, Upward Mobility, or Respect

Pros

Flexibility with your start time. There is nothing else positive about this work environment. Do not work here.

Cons

"Groupthink" is in full effect with senior management. Chastised behind closed doors for offering any ideas towards improvement, even when specifically asked. Senior Management team out of touch with how the company operates on a day to day basis, zero maintenance on processes which no longer make business sense and procedures which are extremely outdated. Unrealistic expectations and conflicting directives placed on employees using old technology limits their ability to meet those expectations. Work hard not smart to make sense of a disjointed system is the unspoken mantra of this company.
