Pros
Good job to start if right out of college, and if you can handle toxicity. Multitude of techniques to learn
Cons
Management only cares about bottom line, and does not care to better themselves. Tasks for chemists grow way outside of job description, then you are reprimanded for not doing those tasks. Favoritism, hard. Say anything negative about the company and you will be feeling those effects for the rest of your tenure, no matter how true they are. Promotion scheme is purposefully designed to prevent you from growing. It requires you to become an expert on a single technique, but work environment does not allow for this as you are constantly being moved away from techniques you are growing accustomed to in favor of filling in the gaps of the people constantly leaving or the needs of the client base. Toxic coworkers, very petty and mean. One person made another cry recently. They do not even work in the same department. This is inexcusable, and there is a culture of fear from retribution from the individual responsible. Management knows these things occur, but they just do not care. High turn around rate due to the aforementioned issues.
