Pros
On-site Library, decent pay, and unlimited snacks and coffee.
Cons
-Schedule is posted last minute, giving you no time to plan your week. -Other lab members are only concerned for their work, even though we work together on teams. People never clean up, the lab is disgusting with trash on the floor and chemical waste just sitting on the counter-tops. -Severe lack of communication. Sometimes things change location in the lab with no notice, or new reagents are introduced but the staff that use them have no knowledge that we ever switched. -"Unlimited PTO" is not entirely true. They track days off, and they restrict your PTO on what they consider busy days. For example, if Mondays are the busiest in your workflow, you can only take a few Mondays off in a year. -Expected to work 8-10 hours every day, and sometimes work days are so busy that you don't have time for lunch. And they have taken away our food stipend. -Project improvements from the techs are mostly ignored, and if management does decide to change something, it takes months for the simplest things to be changed. -I was hired for a morning shift (6am/7am), but that doesn't matter to management. I work many mid-shifts (10am) in a week now....and they expect you to be completely flexible with your schedule even with less than 12 hours of notice for schedule changes.
