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.

Pros

As mentioned work is great since it is cancer research and my coworkers are amazing. Immediate leadership managers and Sr. managers are good as well but somewhat unorganised. Work life balance is good also and health insurance as long as you get BCBS PPO with copay otherwise you're screwed paying off deductible.

Cons

Pay is below industry average, and there is essentially no room to negotiate a better raise. Employees are actively discouraged from discussing compensation, and whatever leadership decides is final, there are no exceptions. If you try to escalate concerns or request a conversation with senior leadership, such as a senior director or VP, you’ll quickly find yourself getting the runaround. Leadership prefers to hide behind layers of management rather than engage directly. There is also no clear or transparent path for career advancement. Opportunities technically exist, but they are extremely limited. You can do everything right, receive a top rating of 5 on your annual performance review, and still not be promoted to manager or see any meaningful improvement in compensation. To make matters worse, the billionaire CEO and founder has said things like, “Don’t worry about pay because we’re curing cancer.” Statements like that feel incredibly out of touch when employees are earning $50k–$60k a year and receiving annual raises of only about $2,000. On top of that, equity is almost impossible to obtain. You have to fight for even the possibility of it, because stock or equity compensation is reserved almost exclusively for the C-suite and directors, with virtually nothing available for employees below that level.
