Pros

Really not a lot of pros here unless you are a "golden child" with the company , some flexibility with scheduling is all about i can say is good.

Cons

Let's see, managers treat employees like crap unless you are a "favorite" of that manager, so there is discrimination going on even though it is denied. A lot of the equipment is in bad condition and constantly is breaking and takes forever to get repaired. HQ does not care much about the branch labs, some of the branch labs are in poor condition (ie, poor heat and A/C, leaky windows, bugs, really bad flooring) while they have a brand new building. There's no real room for promotions or if you get a small promotion it just means more work for no extra pay. They care more for quantity than quality. They won't hire extra staff, even part-time, to help with workload, rather just burnout the employees by working 10+ for months on end. The list just goes on and on.

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.
