Pros

Work life balance is good, they are flexible with hours, and the work we are doing is interesting and ever-changing. I get a lot more responsibility than I would probably get in another entry-level position.

Cons

Spain Management make decisions on every single thing down to day to day activities as well as promotions, even at the lowest possible level. They bring you in entry level and underpaid and have completely reduced promotions to 2 for the entire R&D NC area per YEAR. Only people getting promoted are upper management. This job would be ideal for experience only as you would have to be here many years before your first promotion.

Pros

Good for phlebotomy experience Meet interesting people Learn to keep plates spinning Good health benefits, but not enough to outweigh the health impacts Learn working in a high-stress fast-paced work environment

Cons

Have to unlearn working in a high-stress fast-paced work environment High school drama and toxicity, management is the prom king/queen Cliquey dramatic management team Reneged agreements Playing favorites, rules for thee but not for me Private employee info gets spread, often by those who are relied upon to keep it private No work life balance or boundaries, and it's an admitted and perpetually unaddressed fault Have to be made to feel guilty for wanting to leave production, get a break, or go to the bathroom High turnover "Is everyone else working as hard as I am?",-Everyone, and eventually you
