Not very scientific

Pros

If you need a job, its a job.

Cons

Very unscientific Most people working in science positions have no background or knowledge of science Busier in the summer and they expect you to work OT all the time Very poor pay Terrible benefits and you pay a lot for them Nowhere to go They make you sign a non-compete so you can't work else where in a certain radius from any of their labs No sick days, you have to use your vacation days or miss pay

Worst job ever.

Analyst

Business Outlook

Pros

There are almost no good reasons to work for this company. Perhaps if you live nearby, convenience may be a good one.If you want to work hard for low pay and no acknowledgment for your efforts, this is place.

Cons

There was no "science" being performed in the lab. Data/QC was often falsified. Apathy, back-stabbing, gossiping and tawdry affairs between analysts and managers took the place of any actual work. Don't bother bringing anything unethical to the attention of anyone because nothing will be done about it. Unless you are related to a Frasca, (name of the owner), you will get nowhere.

Mockery of science

Business Outlook

Pros

No set time on when you can arrive/leave which is very flexible (this was only because I had a very unusual schedule). Vacation time is nice and never had a problem taking off when I needed.

Cons

This is hands down the worst place I have ever worked in my entire life. Unless you are family or are friends with upper management then you will never get anywhere in this company. I have been with this company for a year and a half and I still haven't even gotten as much as a “thank you” for my hard work and dedication. It is a very unsafe and dangerous lab if you could even call it a lab.
