Pros

Alcami has been very good about providing opportunities to learn chrome, mass spec, and general chemistry techniques especially if it is vocalized by the analyst. Good support from management and easy to follow test procedures. Over time pay available for hourly employees. Enjoyable work culture and people!

Cons

Compendial testing can be more difficult and pay is not as great as what you could make in other cities and states. However this is more of a Wilmington issue and less of an Alcami issue as they do pay well for the area.

Pros

It was fun getting trained in new techniques, but they did not prioritize training. The bottom line is all they care about. There were some great coworkers there too. I hope they find a workplace where they are truly valued, cause this is not it.

Cons

I loved working here at first. Then, the good people kept leaving and management became worse. Micromanagement is rampant and new red tape changes to software keep things moving slower and slower. There is no trust in your abilities as an analyst. Management is extremely incompetent and they use fear and bullying through intimidation to deliver results. They will only promote you if they like you as a person. Hard work never gets rewarded, and promotions are unbalanced. Safety, empathy, and quality are taken as suggestions while their antiquated SOPs are considered the highest dogma. Higher turnover rate than most restaurants. Managers talk trash about their employees to other employees. No one who works at the analyst level here is mentally ok. The heartache is not worth the low pay. Watch your back.
