Pros

Work is incredibly easy and automated. Benefits are good/average. They have a lunch program. Will hire fresh graduates so its a easy 1st full-time job.

Cons

HR is slow and will not get back to you or your supervisors in a timely manner. Hard to progress internally and can be put on a flight risk list if you try to transfer departments. Trainers are not compensated nor are bonuses given. Unless you have CLIA experience having a masters wont give you a higher pay over a bachelors degree.

Pros

Benefits, pay, and catered lunch orders every shift. Company currently growing and seeking to expand its operations. Will learn plenty in lab with the training--opened my eyes to how biotech industry can work with this being my first professional role.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with less consideration for slower coworkers, coworkers that felt cliquey, and management that seemed distant and unapproachable. Getting along with coworkers was the toughest part for me. Some coworkers seemed unapproachable. Had trouble feeling a sense of belonging on the team with seemingly constant critique about my performance with very little mentioning of people seeing improvement.
