Pros

Good place to work, collaborative atmosphere in laboratories, Fairview management was willing to assist in issues as needed.

Cons

At the time I worked there, there really weren't any downsides to it. I liked working there and only left because I was recruited to a job that was much closer to where I lived.

Pros

People are easy to get along with. The standards i was held to were high and yet I was given assistance to reach them.

Cons

Fairview is always changing and not in a good way. There's turmoil at the top and it filters downwards to everyone in the business.

Pros

Wonderful co-workers, beautiful facilities, Strong history in Minnesota, Pay checks always clear the bank.

Cons

A LOT of job cuts, replacing many positions with casual non-benefit workers, Management is deaf to employee concerns or suggestions. Lack of recognition. Lack of opportunities for growth. Employees are treated as "replaceable". Left hand can't see the right hand disorganization. The senior employees resist change. Unions keep lazy employees around for a long time. Pensions were cut. Health insurance gets cuts every year. Vacation bank maximums are in the process of being reduced. Raises are few and far between. High staff turn over. Many greedy and deceptive CEOs.
