Pros

Some coworkers were supportive and shared a sense of camaraderie.

Cons

1. Management sets unrealistic expectations with little to no guidance or training. 2. Leadership replies heavily on reprimanding rather than coaching or constructive feedback. 3. No regard for work-life balance- long hours and high demands are expected without recognition. 4. Yelling, micromanaging and blame culture were frequent and unprofessional leaving to emotional breakdowns at work. 5. Very limited opportunities for growth or open communication unless you were a favorite of upper management. 6. Asked for help with a situation and was told to consult ChatGPT because my question was a waist of time.

Pros

Supportive Coworkers, Free Eggs, Plenty of Overtime

Cons

Its an okay job for someone starting in the science field but don't plan to stay for more than 6 months. Very draining job; constant under staffing and management suddenly changing SOPs without warning doesn't help. Your expected to do the work of two people for the price of one. Management has little to no understanding of basic science and constantly makes that everyone elses problem. Not the safest workplace either; broken fire alarms, improper training of hazardous chemicals, and sketchy electrical boxes just to start. Technicians get blamed for contamination despite there being actual black mold in the walls and the clean room being a joke. When technicians try to provide advice or observations they are ignored. Overall a lot of good people trying their best despite terrible circumstances, management, and equipment.
