Pros

The people I work with are really great people. They are all willing to help you learn and grow at the company and as a person.

Cons

My hands have the skin ripped off of them every day in order to do the work. The pace is relentless in second shift, and you can expect to have at least some overtime every day. However, day shift is much more relaxed and has a significantly reduced volume of work. DCM readily pierces nitrile gloves and stings like needles piercing your skin. The pay is minimal and increases every time your increase your knowledge but, that still doesn't make the pay feasible for living on one's own until after 1 to 1.5 years of working at the company. Finally, for me, the drive, 1 hour and 20 minutes, makes working here almost the only thing I do Monday through Friday.

Pros

-Pay Check -Benefits -Generally good co-workers -Enjoyable "gallows humor" type vibe

Cons

For the chemistry, food lab: - Far to few people for the number of reports to be generated -An hour to 2 hours of overtime 4 days a week every week is not "normal", it kills employee moral - Poor support but I guess when the goal is to get out as many reports as possible per day there really is no time for training -Lack of respect from manager to regular employee -have to wait a year before transferring to a new position
