      Fun job with learning, but poor management and favoritism

      In vivo technologist
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The job itself is really fun. You get to learn a lot of different biomethods/techniques. Everyday is different and you get to work with a lot of people from different backgrounds.

      Cons

      Management is a joke. Sexual harassment from other employees/coworkers is ignored. I was told "it's just who they are". Favoritism is rampant. If you're made a favorite, you're able to move up quickly (even if it's underserving) but if you're not it's basically impossible.
