Pros
Somewhat flexible schedule, great co-workers, interesting work, generous PTO, job stability
Cons
The company has been progressively going downhill. Forced overtime but then expecting employees to "lose" the hours by leaving early or coming in late on another day if they are hourly, Forced PTO, no benefit to being salaried vs. hourly anymore (at least for the worker), horrible pay, almost non-existent raises. Favoritism plays a major role in promotions and how people are dealt with. Apathy in some management, lack of knowledge in other management. The company takes advantage of the good workers but does nothing to fairly compensate them for going above and beyond while letting the slackers just slide by while reaping the same benefits (+ or - .025% in their raise which is negligible when the raises average 2%). The company used to be about quality. Quality of the data, quality of the work environment, quality of the people. Now it is all about money! We used to get yearly surveys asking for feedback - haven't seen one of those in years! Guess they know the results won't be even close to what they used to be. IT - the system is so outdated and inflexible. And since Eurofins took over it has gotten worse! We are putting more resources into rolling out our LIMs to the sister companies than we are in getting it to work efficiently for us.
