Pros

The schedules are very flexible. Vacation time accrues quickly. Good first job during or right out of college. Rarely boring except during slow winter months.

Cons

Work is extremely monotonous and routine. Pay and benefits are lousy. Nepotism runs rampant. Not much room for growth. High turnover rate. I am not speaking in hyperbole when I say my high school not only has better lab equipment, but better qualified people to run the lab. Sexism, racism, and homophobia (as well as others) are very prevalent amongst either the employees and/or management.

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

Pros

Company allows all employees overtime

Cons

Racist head of maintenance, dysfunctional management, zero organization, HR violations constantly. The amount of times I was cursed and yelled at by older analysts was insane.
