Good experience, but lack of support and bad lab practices

Anonymous employee

Pros

There are flexible hours. Vacation time is decent. A lot of experience to gain from working in the lab. The company likes to sacrifice pay for buying equipment and instruments. This is one advantage from working there.

Cons

Terrible pay for recent graduates. Management structure is very unorganized. Lack of support from management when it comes to workload. Quick deadlines (Longest is 2 weeks), but lack of resources to meet these deadlines. Bad lab practices are taught daily in order to rush results in order to please customers.

Pros

Flexible scheduling? Gave me the experience to know what a crappy job is and how to walk away

Cons

-Employees are over worked ALL THE TIME which leads to stressed out employees that are extremely unhappy -There is no room to move up or around because no one cares how much you analyze or how well.. only that you are analyzing ALOT so you get to keep your horrible job Yipeee -BAD BAD BAD BAD BADDDDD buildings for labs.. their falling apart and corporate said they had no money to renovate? It's ok to let your analyst work in cramped corners with asbestos bags just flying around everywhere?? And they analyze for mold.. I guess it's free to analyze your own mold in your own building right so if it's not poisonous you'll still keep the mold around. Thanks guys -No employee loyalty... if the customers are unhappy because they didn't turn in their own samples on time they blame the labs.... no matter what.. corporate WILL back up the customers because their so afraid of losing to another lab GET OVER IT -Insurance policy is HORRIBLE the worse I've ever seen as well as vacation time and no sick leave??
