Pros

There company color is blue. I like blue. Blue is a warm color.

Cons

Everything else not related to the company logo color. Poor benefits, inept leadership, no personnel development program, no investment in employees, no retention policy, no downward communication, all decisions made in Barcelona, they don't value leadership, they don't like change, quality is an afterthought, safety is less than an afterthought. In summary, not only to they not value their employees, I would go so far as to say they resent their employees and wish they could run the company with out them. Employees are a necessary evil.

Pros

Good for phlebotomy experience Meet interesting people Learn to keep plates spinning Good health benefits, but not enough to outweigh the health impacts Learn working in a high-stress fast-paced work environment

Cons

Have to unlearn working in a high-stress fast-paced work environment High school drama and toxicity, management is the prom king/queen Cliquey dramatic management team Reneged agreements Playing favorites, rules for thee but not for me Private employee info gets spread, often by those who are relied upon to keep it private No work life balance or boundaries, and it's an admitted and perpetually unaddressed fault Have to be made to feel guilty for wanting to leave production, get a break, or go to the bathroom High turnover "Is everyone else working as hard as I am?",-Everyone, and eventually you
