Pros

It's a job, but only if you have no other options. Seems ok at first but you soon learn otherwise. Vacation is the only real benefit.

Cons

Low pay, long hours, no employee loyalty. Revolving door employment. The benefits are terrible, the health care is not affordable at the wages they pay. Can't hire any quality workers because the wages are too low. The good people you get don't stick around because they realize there are much better opportunities elsewhere. Upper management is made up of family and old friends. They often ignore unethical practices that take place in other EMSL locations.

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.
