Pros

As everyone previously states, employee comradery

Cons

There is a lack of science background/knowledge in regards to upper management decisions. Some managers with significant science background have left, hard to move within company with a decent pay bump, clear favoritism within most departments, management is blissfully unaware of what is happening in the labs.

Many thanks for taking the time to give us some feedback and your support for the time you were part of the department. I appreciate your thoughts on the lack of scientific background and knowledge with relation to upper management decisions. In July this year I was hired as the new Executive Director for Bioanalytical Services and I have more than 25 years’ direct experience in bioanalysis. I am taking a very proactive and committed involvement in all the activities within Bioanalytical working closely with all of the experience staff within the department. I do not know when you left our employment but I firmly believe that the particular challenges you have highlighted are certainly key area’s I hope that my management style and also direct bioanalytical experience and ability will quickly help to impact. A key priority for the departments senior leadership is engagement of the whole team and commitment to the departments success through retention and development of our team members and I hope that if you had any friends still working within the department you will be able to hear very positive signs to the new direction we are taking the department even in my first few short months. Tim Sangster – Executive Director Bioanalytical Sciences.

Pros

Really decent benefits ,GRATE Facilities ( Building Maintiance) Supervisor, GRATE Director that is in charge at out 2 Tempe properties! I love the company work environment

Cons

My interview and job offer were around the first of the month, I was told by HR That My start date would be as soon as I was able to accept the job offer and once my background check came back. I was called back a few minutes later and asked if I could start almost 2 weeks later........Unknowing that my start date was the last day of the facilities tech's that I was replacing. So I LITERALLY GOT 2 1/2 hours on a job that has Weekly, Monthly, Quartly, Semi annual and annual inspections on some appliances, Systems and areas that I was and am not familiar with or that Vendors were called in for at all the other facilities that I work for in all the yeaars I have done maintaince for in the past. So I have to ask questions ALL the time because I did not receive a proper 2 week training period, Why I was hired this way I do not know but feel I was setup for failure and am under constiant stress, and feel like a TOTAL failure because I am running behind 100% of the time. I take care of my 80 year old father who has onset dementia when I am not at work. So no real training and being behind all the time has taken its toll on me mentally and physically. ( This has only been MY PERSONAL exp. I am told IT'S NOT COMMON practice )

Pros

Serves as a decent place to get baseline industry experience on your resume before moving elsewhere.The direct team leads and peer-level colleagues are understanding and pleasant to work with.

Cons

Client-facing demands combined with aggressive study timelines often lead to heavy workloads and long hours.Resourcing can be tight, meaning PMs frequently have to act as both strategic leaders and administrative coordinators. Quarterly updates are disconnected always touting quarter after quarter/ year after year revenue records while running their staff into burnout with the mentality of less is more or better yet "scalability"
