Pros

- Great benefits - Some very smart and cordial folks to work with - Interesting, mission-focused work with a variety of assignments

Cons

- Way way too many Directors and VPs, many with no direct reports - Too many people in a management role that shouldn't be due to having no people/interpersonal skills or scientific/research folks that work best as individual contributors. Example: my group had at least 10 people transfer or leave the company as a direct result of no longer wanting to work for our supervisor yet there were never any negative consequences for this VP. Managers should be flagged if too many folks leave their group. - Restrictive and over-bureaucratic IT department - Too much secrecy and poor communications overall from senior leadership; 5 stern reminders to complete the annual employee survey (which vanishes after limited results are released) but nothing about poor business outlook and potential layoffs for your site

Pros

None whatsoever. Everything they advertise as a pro has fineprint that renders it completely useless.

Cons

Wish I could have given zero stars, 1 star feels like lying. The most important thing is that they will mess you over without a second thought. For those who may have just started at the company, quit now before they mess you over. Don't be deceived by the benefits they advertise. Don't think you're valued because they will turn on you the second keeping you as part of the team inconveniences them. They don't pay fairly and blow off people who need to make a living. On top of trash pay, the work environment will have you hating what you do even while you're actively helping people. At PSCs, you're severely overworked and under a microscope. As an IOP, you're underappreciated and taken advantage of. The way they do business is very shady. They constantly have lawsuits against them, Google it. I saw the reviews and didn't listen because I thought a bad job was better than no job in this economy. I was so wrong. For your own mental health, and overall finances, don't work here. EVER. There are other jobs out there that pay fairly and aren't toxic. I found one and am so happy because I could have been trapped in a company going nowhere. Now I am paid what I'm worth and growing in my career, not just stuck choosing between being a phlebotomist, float or a high-stress supervisor. Just wait for a better job. I promise, the trash pay and stress are NOT worth the gas you'll waste driving all over the place even when you're not a float. Just don't do it.
