Pros

You will get a paycheck and learn about nepotism at its very greatest. It's a garbage company, not many pros come to mind.

Cons

You have to be in the family to succeed. Upper management consists of non college graduates that have no idea how to run a company. They married into the family and were handed management titles for doing so. The company hands out a 25 dollar gift card as a bonus. 25 dollars.... Raises are very rare. My department was extremely lucky to get 1%. The company looks at quantity over quality. 8 years with the company and I just wish I never started working here. The worst part of working here is actually trying to find a new job. Other companies are skeptical of hiring EMSL employees because of the company's past issues with data integrity. It's just all around poor judgment to consider EMSL as an employer. 2 thumbs down.

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.
