Good place to start but no true potential for growth. Corporate does not care about the employees.

Pros

Most of the people that I work with here are good people who deserve better. If you stay here long enough you will get promoted just for having seniority.

Cons

Pay and compensation is very low when compared to the rest of the industry. Corporate does not care about its employees. The investors are the only ones who matter to corpoarte, not the people who make the company successful by traveling and leaving their families behind for low compensation. VERY high turnover rate.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great people. Enjoyed my day. Team work ethic. Not micromanaged. Learned a lot about microbiology.

Cons

Poor pay for the level of education and experience most employees have. CEO continually has meetings about how well the company is doing, growing, investing and acquiring new companies, but the company does not reward its employees for this or increase wages as they should. Poor health care benefits with consistent increased cost to employees. Not much incentive to work there long term because they do not compete with the pay and benefits of other companies. Great minds leave all the time and most of the people that work there are always looking for other job opportunities.
