Pros

I met a really good friend here and hours are very flexible. It's a check while not one that most people can survive on.

Cons

Poor pay, forced to work with uneducated, intolerable and disrespectful employees (females are constantly harassed by men sexually, co workers are extremely lazy and don't care about their job performance, laboratory is extremely unkept and outdated), management provides false hope of cross training, promotions or higher wages; company has a racial prejudice towards people of color (NYC site); they are willing to let people go without a seconds thought or without any reason; total lack of respect for human need of survival. I would NEVER refer anyone to this company for employment.

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.
