Pros

You get OT and you work with decent people (some just don't know how to do anything) you gain a lot of experience because they put you out there.

Cons

What can I say here. It is absurd how they treat you and it is ridiculous how many promises they make that they will not keep! There's been times that RA's do not take a lunch and they definitely never take breaks. Upper management promises to help but they never do and if they do you end up having to correct their mistakes or they do not finish it all the way thru. I think it's completely amusing how they say they care about the staff when they don't. Studies are not always performed at their best since some are last minute or don't have enough staff to run them properly. I would recommend to not even consider this place! Make yourself a favor and go somewhere else, you will be better off. You will be thrown into studies without having experience. Even for GLP. If you do not know how to do something they will teach you during the study which is not ok, that is not the correct way to train someone. They do NOT follow correct GLP procedures. They fake paperwork saying you are trained for something when you are not or they will sign you off right AFTER the study is over in case they get audited. I am honestly not sure how this company is still open. Also I think it is funny how they have someone write positive reviews in a single day to try to make this company look better! News flash it doesn't, it makes you look petty! Trying so hard but everyone knows they are all fake. This company is very money hungry its pretty sad. There's better companies out there don't bother with this one.

Pros

Great company to grow and learn at a fast pace. One can really pick up a multitude of skills/technique on a wide variety of animals from mice to NHP. Throughout the years, I have had the chance to work along some phenomenal co-workers. There is plenty of work and the opportunity to develop your skillset is there it is up to one if they want to grow or stall. It also allows you to understand the importance of animal research. It also gives you access to be part of the tremendous work that goes behind a study from writing the protocol, ordering animals, ordering supplies, setting up the study binder's/study schedule, working side by side with the client, etc. If one demonstrates they are up for the challenge BTS Research will stimulate your career direction with all the tools necessary to succeed.

Cons

Not everyone that is hired is built for a CRO type of work, so unfortunately many come and go. This is not always a reflection of the company but more the individual that got hired that was not up for tasks. The amount of work and pace is not for everyone.

Pros

Opportunity for overtime, husbandry experience, versatile animal experiences, my supervisor during this time was amazing and showed genuine care about their employees, learned so much

Cons

Lab work never stops, request days off very far in advance, and even then some of it wasn't honored well. This job is not for the faint of heart, research is hard to work in if you aren't comfortable with euthanasia
