Pros

Flexible and casual work environment.

Cons

Pretty much everything else. It's a family run company and they do not care about their employees in the slightest. The pay is not competitive and the benefits are absolutely awful. They profess to care about quality but they obviously don't. They just care about how many samples you can pump out. And if you so try really hard it will get you nowhere. Last but certainly not least, the safety of dealing with asbestos is not taken seriously. Don't bother complaining to HR because they are part of "the family". I worked here for four years and now I work for a real company. The difference is astonishing.

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.
