Better than other labs

Pros

Great bosses, structured support from corporate office, workload is manageable compared to other labs I’ve worked for, overall culture is good

Cons

Benefits and pay aren’t great, particularly the benefits, they’re a little pricey and outside of preventative care, don’t cover enough imho, 401k is very low to where it’s almost nonexistent

Don’t waste your time

Pros

The people you work with are great. Good opportunity for experience. The parking situation was good for this location.

Cons

This job is good for experience and nothing else. If you actually have bills to pay, don’t waste your time. Upper management is extremely disorganized and cant seem to comprehend what actually goes on in a lab setting or the cost of living in the Bay Area. The wages are comparable to fast food wages, minus the demand in work. They constantly increase work load while barely supplying adequate training and pay to accompany it.
