BioLife Solutions Quality Control Inspector (QC Inspector) reviews

I think it has been long enough since my leave to share my story. I was in QC as an Inspector. When you first arrive it seems that everyone is a “family” and very friendly, but as most of us know, this should have been a red flag. They draw you in and get you comfortable, but if you so much as threaten that cult culture of theirs, it’s curtains for you. A few months into my time, I found out BioLife was cutting salaries of new manufacturing hires instead of raising salaries for those who had been there for a long time. I decided to say something to my manager, explaining they weren’t happy and it could lead to some unpleasant consequences for the company if not addressed. The next day, I was fired for “inappropriate behavior”. Those friends I thought I had made along the way completely shunned me. One of them was still interested in spending time outside of work together, but it seemed he was bullied into changing his mind a few days later. If you work here, don’t expect to be able to make change for the better or that the people you work with are trustworthy. Keep your head down and do your job and hope that you don’t upset someone enough to lie about you or become a scapegoat for the companies poor decisions.

Still developing the leadership structure and ever evolving (which is also a pro, because it feels like getting in on the 'ground floor' of something big... But...) which sometimes creates an uneasy feeling. Like not everyone in upper management is on the same page.
