Pros
good place to get some lab experience and have a job with benefits. Depending on what you want from the job, you can advance up the ladder. That is, if you start off in the right department, put in alot of years and know the top managers. The company tries to build a sense of culture by having parties here and there, but not everyone shows up and its like going to an awkward potluck party where people are in groups.
Cons
This laboratory was bought by Eurofins not to long ago, so the company is still going through some changes. That said, most of the top Managers are long time friends and/or have worked there for over 15 years. This sounds ideal for those who believe in committed employees who stay for many years in the company, but in this case, the top managers at this location all have bad attitudes and think that yelling and screaming at their employees will help train them to do a better job next time. Training was promised at the interview, but I never received good quality training to do my job. In this lab, you learn by getting yelled at, blamed for or mistakes you fix yourself without much guidance. I hope this changes with they all retire.
