Pros
BioFire has a great product backed by a serious commitment to research and development. Nice location in Research Park. Great flexibility in hours. Fantastic benefits and a great attitude within the company. Not too much overtime and, when it is needed, ample notice is given (for instance, during the height of the flu season).
Cons
This company started small and grew very fast and, as other reviewers have related, something went wrong along the way in their manufacturing department. Inexperienced supervisors have made poor decisions with regards to hiring and been consistently unable to foster and maintain a professional working environment on the production lines. Loud and offensive music, age discrimination and a sexualized work environment were common workplace conditions, while complaints to HR were largely ignored. Overall, a disappointing experience- especially so when, given the above average pay scale and excellent benefits, the company could have set much higher performance standards and expectations for supervisory and production level employees. With such a strong product and commitment to the industry, BioFire had the opportunity to create a special and innovative manufacturing environment-unfortunately, ill-chosen decisions to promote fundamentally unsuited people to supervisory positions and the failure to recognize and correct these issues has created a workforce that is no better than its lowest common denominator.
