Pros

- Great experience to add to CV if you are a graduate. - Lovely people to work with, everyone is genuine and friendly (Dungloe location) - I have highlighted alot of cons below but I would recommend a graduate or someone who is local to work here.

Cons

- Location is too remote. Randox is located in the middle of nowhere, having to driving an hour to closet town if you want to do anything. - Lack of progression. Even if you have a lot of industry experience and work great in your department, any advancement in your career is hindered by your qualifications (i.e lack of a PHD), and whether management like you personally or not. - No sick days, pension or maternity pay - No benefits at all really! The only benefit is that you can take a maximum of 2hours flexi time per month but even if you have worked 5hours extra, only 2 hours are permitted to be taken. - Clock in and out system is too strict. - Working hours are 40hours a week where you start 20minutes early and finish 20minutes later (8.40am-5.20pm) to account for your 40minute unpaid break. - No structure for salary progression or appraisals. - Travel outside of working hours is not paid. - Tend to have a 1 or 2 year workforce turn around.

Pros

none. it is a very odd place. if you're an intern it looks good on a resumer as a filler. but as a professinal? don't bother

Cons

Peronally think it is a scam.
