Pros
Some nice people to work with... that's about it
Cons
It's all about the bottom line. Work harder, faster, more hours... but then get lectured for doing so much overtime, because they don't want to pay your overtime hour. This company will overload you with mundane analysis, fail to teach you anything knew, no matter how well you do your job, and pay you poorly and speak down to you. NOT to mention the fact that management will ask you to sacrifice your scientific integrity by asking you to falsify data to make clients happy! Oh, and did I mention they lie to their environmental auditors. They do not have a safe work environment either. The emergency shower? nope, filled with boxes. Emergency shower = Storage closet. What about the un-vented combustion oven in the basement? No proper eyewash stations, so on and so forth. This place is a joke. The only reason they stay in business is because they manage to find hard working kids straight out of school who need the work and they cater to making clients happy rather than reporting real data. Also, it is really interesting to hear that "women belong in the office not the laboratory" Nothing like peppering in a little old school chauvinism to really keep things interesting.
