Lax safety standards, zero safety training for new hires, frequent asbestos exposure, broken fume hoods still being used, reluctance to replace HEPA filters and other safety features, expired fire extinguishers, improper hazardous waste disposal, low morale, incompetent managers, motivation by threats, micro-managing by corporate, good employees are overworked while others do the minimum, low pay, yearly raises are 1-2% for the hardest workers.

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.
