Pros

Flexible schedule. You can come and go as you please for the most part, as long you are there roughly around your schedule time. Everyone is really cool and friendly.

Cons

VERY dirty and dangerous to workers. Majority of the workers including the actual supervisors treat asbestos as a joke and will literally take out asbestos sample in mid air without any caution. Miserable work environment, no one is happy to be there, there just there because they got stuck and were desperate for work experience. EMSL pay does differ from person to person, even though you do the same job. You can advance to other positions, it will most likely happen if you get along with the managers. In the end, is the need for experience worth bad work conditions, miserable atmosphere, low pay, expensive benefits, and above all, your health?

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.
