Pros

Like others said. Hours. That's it. You could possibly have the good fortune of solid co-workers (co-slaves)

Cons

Absolutely zero emphasis on quality. There is one thing that this company cares about. It's not it's employees, or the clients. Turn around times. They will pay you a salary that is impossible to live on, have outrageous project expectations that result in 60 hour weeks, and hire employees who aren't qualified (INCLUDING ME!). They just take advantage of those who are desperate for a paycheck in today's tough economy.

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.
