Pros

Good autonomy at letting the individual labs manage the high work load. Good work/life balance. Few knowledgeable middle managers that were in the same trench as the underlings. If you have a pulse you can get a job here.

Cons

Poor structure from a family of husband and wives of upper management. Managers can't manage. This company expects low level work to be done by the managers. Next to none in terms of support from family managers only interested in themselves. Poor professional development and job satisfaction. Dirty and hazardous work.

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.
