Pros

People are great, benefits are decent. Generally low-stress work.

Cons

Way behind the times on lab equipment and procedures. Most of the data is handwritten when our lab instruments are capable of digital output. Calculations that could be done in excel must be done by calculator and pen and paper. Employees performance based on the number of clerical errors made. People fired because of clerical errors. If we just embraced the times and used digital outputs of data, nobody would have errors been transcribing on paper!! Amount of handwritten paperwork is ridiculous. Time consuming and unnecessary.

There is work life balance, but there is an expectation to work nights and weekends.
