Pros

The pay is okay. Paid time off for full-time employees. Benefits available.

Cons

That being said, the employee pays close to 70% for their medical benefits. You have to beg to get get time off. The company's business model make sense as long as you think of it as a Third World sweat shop. The more work you do, the more they pile it on. They thrive on burning out their employees because they can just hire a new person that doesn't know any better. There is absolutely no way to advance within the company unless you are related to someone or are a favored pet of a manager. They say you can cross train to earn a raise but you are never given the time and resources to do so.No pay raises for the past year and half, firings and reduction in hours at the beginning of 2010, but Corporate emailed pictures of the brand new corporate headquarters with "gold chairs" in the break room and, of course, new equipment .

Pros

Good autonomy at letting the individual labs manage the high work load. Good work/life balance. Few knowledgeable middle managers that were in the same trench as the underlings. If you have a pulse you can get a job here.

Cons

Poor structure from a family of husband and wives of upper management. Managers can't manage. This company expects low level work to be done by the managers. Next to none in terms of support from family managers only interested in themselves. Poor professional development and job satisfaction. Dirty and hazardous work.
