Pros

Don't need to pay for parking. Working at Neogen will motivate you to re-evaluate your career / life.

Cons

Hard to describe how negative this work experience was. My work colleagues were great people, but it was easy to feel a general sense of "I have come to terms with how horrible this place is - and have no interest in advancing my career" from those who had been with Neogen for more than 6 months. It's a sad / almost depressing place to work. Take some time to explore other options. You can do better.

Pros

Decent entry level pay, good benefits.

Cons

Poor work environment and working with people who were content to be silent and miserable the whole work day. Mandatory overtime, and the hourly wage is not enough to get anyone who doesn't absolutely need that particular job to stay.

Pros

Co-workers are good. Occasional free food is good.

Cons

Pay is very low for the work that is done. High stress job. Management avoids promoting people,but will give you extra responsibilities to get work done at a lower cost.
