Pros

Not many. Great coworkers in many branch labs who are unappreciated

Cons

Everything. Management is exceptionally poor, nepotism is rampant, they prefer women not to be in management roles, overtime is forced, workload is impossible to get done, no raises, health, vacation and 401k are all jokes. I left the company and work for a competitor and am making almost double with bosses that appreciate me. Avoid this company at all costs. I heard from a current employee that the owner sent a mass email in may 2016 asking employees to write fake 5 staff reviews on here to up the companies rating.

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.
