Pros

Made some lasting friendships. I got a paycheck every 2 weeks. The company was close to my house. Have I hit the 20 word minimum yet?????

Cons

How is this place still in business? Haven't seen new product innovations in over 10 years. PKI just buys up companies to expand their portfolio, because the fact is...all of the good scientists and technical people were laid off years ago! Oh and, the old boys running the show hate women. Look around. How many women are in management, and I'm talking outside of HR? Can't name any because there was always some less qualified, less educated man that actually got the promotion. If I had a dollar for each PMS or period joke told while I worked there I'd be a millionaire. One time I was supposed to travel for work, and my boss actually asked me if it would be ok with my husband. This was in 2010. Let that sink in. Race also appeared to be an issue. It didn't go unnoticed that Asians and blacks were always the first to go come layoff time.
