Pros

Some room for career growth, the facility is nice and well-maintained, the benefits are competitive, job stability due to the great amount of global projects

Cons

Seemed inconsistent with the promotions/lack-there-of. Very noticeable favoratism within the division which led to a high turnover rate of employees, although room for career growth, it can be limited/slow, over 40 work hours required many weeks

Pros

Job stability, good pay, good benefits.

Cons

CRO work is universally unsatifsying for anyone who wants to be more than just a cog in a large wheel. Far too many layers of communication for efficient decision making, overly concerned with production over quality. Poor work/life balance due to unrealistic sponsor contracts and expectations and cumbersome systems.

No employee moral

Pros

Due to the high turn over rate, you'll most likely get hired if you have ANY previous lab experience.

Cons

Basically, this company is extremely profit driven. They take on far too many contracts for the amount of resources and personnel they have. This creates and atmosphere with low employee moral and a very stressful working environment. Any employee 'senior group leader' or below pretty much spends their whole time running around like a chicken with it's head cut off.
