Pros

Great Quality Brands. Nice People.

Cons

This company is as BAD as everyone says it is. Systems are a mess and still so many issues after acquisition in 2017. It is a hot mess - 3 years later!!!. So much turnover with new smart recent grads coming in.. but they need direction. There is no training past the employee handbook (hello). They are recruiting young, but once these employees' eyes are opened, they get out... as quickly as possible. They need to hire experienced people ..(and yes.. pay more..HR) so someone can figure out why this is still a mess in year 3.

Pros

The job is not too difficult. You mainly work on your own, Pay and benefits are outstanding.

Cons

12 hour shifts. Only one tech per shift so vacations can be a bit dicey. Support from peers is low and there is a lot of back biting in the lab. Sometimes they seem to be lookng for a scapegoat.
