Pros

Great for people fresh out of university. Somewhat flexible hours. If you have to be in at 9am but come in around 8 45 or 9 15, it's fine as long as you stay for your 8 hours. Lots of OT available if you want it but sometimes it is mandatory. For the most part, everyone is friendly. I've noticed this across different EMSL labs. You get a bonus if you stay for at least 3 years. You can listen to music and have your phone at your desk as long as you are working.

Cons

Management could use some work. Several times when I tried to ask for something from a previous conversation, management goes, "I never said that" when I clearly remembered that they did.... Better get things in writing if you want to get something from them. The work can be very draining and repetitive - ask to be cross trained to keep things interesting but be warned, it might not happen as management can be picky.

Pros

Great bosses, structured support from corporate office, workload is manageable compared to other labs I’ve worked for, overall culture is good

Cons

Benefits and pay aren’t great, particularly the benefits, they’re a little pricey and outside of preventative care, don’t cover enough imho, 401k is very low to where it’s almost nonexistent

Pros

Company allows all employees overtime

Cons

Racist head of maintenance, dysfunctional management, zero organization, HR violations constantly. The amount of times I was cursed and yelled at by older analysts was insane.
