Pros

Easy to get a job as a new grad

Cons

Employees are only in it for themselves, no team work, management has poor structure. I felt like I was thrown in and not given any background information on what I was doing.

Pros

For the most part, great coworkers, pretty good benefits, perks like free donuts. Good starting lab job. I've found that a lot of people like it for the first couple years then begin to hate it.

Cons

As posted in other reviews, people who are awful at their jobs are promoted for some reason. A lot of it has to do with politics and who likes you. You can barely work but yet if you're friends with certain people you can work your way up quickly while those who actually do all the work get nothing and often take all the blame for mistakes. Which you shouldn't make. Even the simplest mistakes that don't cost the company money can bring severe punishment. Management is cutting support staff to the bone to make themselves look good.
