Pros

You are able to be somewhat on your own schedule unless a project manager or supervisor allows late sample drop offs without alerting an analyst and then blames the analyst for poor client relations.

Cons

Little pay, bounced checks (if your check arrives) no direct deposit, no opportunity for advancement. Prepare to be the scapegoat for all of managements issues. Unrealistic work load for a 40 hour week but you'll be reprimanded for going into overtime. Poor communication and if you're not a part of upper managements "clique" get ready to feel a knife in your back on a regular basis.

Thank you for your feedback. Pay rates are competitive in the industry and constantly monitored to make sure they remain competitive. COLA was given to counter the inflation and benefits were generously improved to help our employees. This is a small company, only 150 employees and we want to make sure to take care of our employees. Our employees are not paid $35K a year (which was a normal salary at the time this review was written).

Pros

The only pros would be to say this was a consistent place of work with stable pay. The issue is even though I am salaried if I don’t meet a minimum of 40 hours I don’t get my full pay and if I go over I still only get paid by base salary (Just under 50k/yr)

Cons

Everything. Crappy work conditions, Lab manager previews to hire people of a certain “look”, and crazy work conditions. Overtime is required to get the job done most weeks, wish I got something from it. As many other reviews have said before, there are constantly solvents and waste everywhere. While there are spots for these chemicals, they often crowd the workstation, making things unsafe even in the best of conditions. Even the clients are rude to the staff and I and management does absolutely nothing about it to protect us.
