Pros

Great work life balance in the lab position, Christian company, great coworkers, and never-ending knowledge to be learned that can challenge even the most senior employees. The lab is very much dependent on how the manager wants to run it. Ours is very great environment and low stress. Hours are great with no weekends and can come in early as long as it is approved by manager.

Cons

Work can get mundane at times and to advance in career the only option upward is the quality manager, and most people stay in that position for a while, so it is dependent on openings available at plant to move up the ladder. So, career advancement is not super promising as a lab tech if you don't want to relocate unfortunately.

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective. At POET, we are committed to maintaining a professional workplace where team members are treated with respect and where clear expectations, accountability, and confidentiality are core standards across our operations. We also want to clarify that team member compensation and personnel records are maintained within secure electronic HR systems rather than physical documents, and access to that information is strictly restricted in accordance with company policy. The situation described does not align with the processes we have in place to protect confidential information. Individual experiences can vary, and we encourage team members to raise questions or concerns through the appropriate internal channels so they can be reviewed and addressed in a timely and constructive way. Our focus remains on supporting a collaborative, purpose-driven environment where team members can contribute, grow, and succeed. — POET
