Development potential - Analytical Chemist Calscience Environmental Laboratories Employee Review

Great place to start working to gain practical experience in analytical chemistry. Good work environment, opportunities for overtime and extra pay are available. Good interaction with group leader and co-workers, and opportunities to interact are plentiful. Co-workers and supervisor was responsive to employee.

I entered as a contractor, and initially, the hiring decisions between upper management and the group employees did not seem too coordinated, it seemed that my group leader had yet to determine how I would fit in with the department.

-If you volunteer for overtime and extra work, you have the ability to gain rapid training in several departments -Previous company culture hasn't completely faded with recent eurofins acquisition (give it time...) -Some genuinely cool coworkers

-Bound to become like Testamerica with its new corporate money feel. Already everyone is upset and leaving -Be prepared to be extremely poor and depressed over your prospects of advancement. -Complete disconnect between management and staff. -Poor training and management practices -Employees are treated like livestock. It doesn't matter if you have a degree in chemistry. Everyone does, here's your $15/hr. -Customer service (the company's main strength) is going to hell rapidly. Expect layoffs and further rules when the money starts getting tight.
