A terrible experience

Pros

I got a paycheck every two weeks. There was some freedom to come and go at times. Other than that, none. Analysts were treated poorly and quit without notice.

Cons

Other reviews have covered them. This company should be checked out by the state. The business model is one I hope never to see again. When I think about working there, I get a cold, uneasy feeling. When I see their ads for analysts to hire I smile and hope their branches shut down.

Pros

In every lab there are good analysts that continue to come to work everyday, meet the output numbers even thou they get nothing in return (besides a measly paycheck), and are very knowledgable in their skill. They are the people who make EMSL's money. They are what make coming to work everyday just a little easier.

Cons

I wish I would have known about this site before I accepted the job. Reading other reviews would have saved me some turmoil. First, when you are interviewed, they make it seem like this is a great company to work for with lots of career opportunities and the ability to cross-train in multiple departments. FAIL. Second, this company has a corporate HQ and a bunch of other "branch" labs. The branch labs are run by, for the lack of a better word, chumps. A lot of "managers" and "supervisors" and "technical managers" that don't know a darn thing about what they are talking about but like to pretend like they do so they take home a nice paycheck at the end of the week. And, since HQ houses a majority of the authority figures as well as the HR department, the branch managers can continue to run a lab where there is no sense of leadership, responsibility, ownership, or comradery. FAIL.

Pros

flexible schedules vacation time accrues quickly after the first year

Cons

employees are not well compensated benefits, especailly healthcare, are a joke due to the high premiums no paid sick days management is arrogant and out of touch with the rank and file workers emphasis is strongly placed on production, instead of quality raises are miniscule, usually 2% even for the outstanding employess cameras are used to track employees atmosphere of distrust exists management makes decisions in a void, without considering the impact
