Business Outlook

Pros

It was a stable job and some of the people worked with were great.

Cons

- Pay is incredibly low. - Raises weren't given out every year and if they were, they were only 2% - Upper management is horrible and will blame others for their mistakes. - CEO is out-of-touch with employees. Once said if we want a raise we should contribute more to our 401k. - Will lay you and others off with no warning. - Neogen's bread and butter is buying other companies for their tech and then a couple months to a year later, lay off everyone. If you get acquired by Neogen, start looking for a new job. - Opportunity for growth is non-existent. - Everything from the buildings to the tech is outdated.
