Business Outlook

Pros

Great Benefits Good Pay Opportunity for advancement Easy to transfer from lab to lab

Cons

Same as any production job. Employees are treated well, but job is repetitive and focus is on volume of work and profitability rather than quality that is seen in smaller independent labs. Based on lab mandatory overtime is required.

Nice place but culture changing

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Generally few personal agendas. Committed people working toward common business goal. Some strong leaders at Executive Committee level. Nice place and nice people.

Cons

Still trying to grow into the shoes of a large corporation with huge growth in recent years. Not very mature in HR practices or execution. Managers/Directors usually not expected to lead but merely be super individual contributors. Rewards are often for personal contribution even if leadership and development is poor.
