Pros

Flexible with vacation time, chill dress code, could leave for doctors appointments and come back to make up hours. Coworkers were all nice I didn’t have a bad experience with anyone. I got lucky with the fact that I didn’t have to do much overtime but that’s because my coworker liked having it.

Cons

The pay is pathetic for the amount of work. We were understaffed in my department for months and I felt like I should have been compensated more for doing 2 peoples jobs. One thing that really irritated me was you get no sick time. You’re sick and can’t come in or the weather is terrible and you don’t think it’s worth your safety to come in? They take vacation time from you. Also got a dollar raise for my annual review which was a joke. I honestly didn’t mind working here but not worth the pay especially in the summer during the busy season.

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
