Pros

Made decent money, but they could pay MUCH better.

The worst thing is the blind leading the blind in that company. It was really bad.

Pros

The overtime pay and vacation time.

Cons

OVERWORK. Always working on the weekends and everyone has to be available for on-call. Never had a personal and family since I worked there. I never had time to go to any appointments because I was so tired. You can be working from 8hrs and suddenly to 14hours or suddenly work for 2 shifts. The department never has enough staff to even switch. I was extremely burned out. There’s only 2 shifts (morning and night), but we’re supposed to have 3 with the last one being the graveyard (overnight) shift. The morning shift always leaves exactly 8 hours, while night shift (my shift) works over. The work culture is awful for this position. Noone and I MEAN NOONE cares if you’re tired and overwork. And no matter how hard you tried to be nice and stocks everything and give every material and supplies needed. They will ALWAYS TREAT POORLY. They even purposely make a mess and drop things for no reason and not be cautious about anything. Manufacturing and QA are the always blaming on our department, but once we have evidences that it isn’t our fault, they turned a blind eye. Never work as a Tech Service Technician or in any position in Central Service. People will never respect you.

Poor management

Pros

Employment, weather, good location, Florida, better city

Cons

I see significant potential for enhanced technical progress, and fostering better collaboration among departments would be advantageous. As a scientific organization, it is crucial that employees are acknowledged and treated according to their expertise and qualifications, at least meeting the minimum standards; this would cultivate an excellent work environment for talented professionals. However, the existence of micromanagement and the lack of technical proficiency among upper management impede career advancement and overall job satisfaction. Additionally, appointing qualified individuals to their appropriate roles, rather than promoting based on favoritism while neglecting skills and knowledge, would greatly enhance the workplace. It is disheartening to witness such a large organization being led by a departmental head who is deficient in knowledge, skills, and the right mindset. Moreover, some managers seem to act merely as timekeepers for their employees instead of focusing on enhancing their knowledge and skills. The validation team is full of irregularities and dirty politics.
