Pros

Flexible schedule; vacation days are high quickly: not a lot of positives about working here.

Cons

-management difficult to work with; lots of nepotism; HR department is a nightmare; high expectations of their employees with little compensation; weekend work necessary even if you don't have childcare; HR departmet a mess and unprofessional. nothing is privileged; no bonuses; little to no raises ever given; no 401k match; health insurance is not affordable; nothing is ever enough and often times employees are told that their happiness is not the company concern; huge turnover; have to pay back training cost if tenure is less than 2 years; unrealistic expectations of employees time and effort.

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
