Pros

This is a good company for gaining lab experience and if you can get into managements good favors life will be easier, provided corporate doesn't veto anything. I have seen and heard of lab managers actually trying to get the help or pay people want but usually always gets turned down by corporate for one reason or another. The Christmas party was usually always the highlight of working there. The bonus wasn't the best but there was one and they usually go all out at the venue.

Cons

This is not a very reliable job at times. As you have probably read everyone complain about the excess of hours and lack of help, there is a flip side. Depending on which lab you work, I worked 2, there are slow seasons and too much help. At that time hours get cut back and usually get told to just enjoy the free time while you can. I'm putting the degree portion in the cons because if you don't have one life becomes a lot harder to promote no matter the experience. They will hire people with high degrees and give them everything. The down side to that is I got stuck working with a hand full of master degree holds that weren't their weight in salt. It's very discouraging for some people to see such treatment. The benefits are kind of a joke as they are really expensive and probably the worst I've ever seen being offered. It wasn't uncommon to get a company email about writing positive reviews or hear about it in lab meetings.

Our employees and our customers are at the center of all we do. For a number of our lab locations our customers operate 24/7 and with that, expect us to operate similar schedules to fulfil their testing needs. To your point, sometimes there are swings in business and the need for employees at certain times. This is not uncommon for many customer centric businesses. At FSNS, qualified employees come from many backgrounds and education levels. We have worked to create career journeys and career pathing to show the way to advancement in position and pay. We continue to train and develop our managers into strong leaders and will continue to create a culture where our employees are happy, engaged, valued and appreciated. I would like to hear more from you on your concerns and hope you will consider contacting me directly. Thank you. Bob Cox, SVP HR.

Pros

Some growth opportunities available depending on location / current lab needs.

Cons

Since it’s part of certified group, upper management does not understand the individual needs of each lab enough to effectively run things. Mandatory overtime at most locations. Not a lot of explanation of how to do certain things or why they are done. Poor wages and terrible health insurance.
