Pros

It's a job, but prepare to go to war with management and their brown nosers if you start here... Unless you're willing to be as shady as they are.

Cons

The company headquarters in Manitowoc, WI is at an ever increasing 5000% goal for: (Politics, drama, backstabbing, no teamwork, incompetent management that lurks but doesn't work) No sick leave, PTO accumulated at ~14 days earned per year, which also doubles as your sick leave. Benefit costs are probably 2-3x what you have paid before in any other job. You are written up, suspended, terminated after missing/partially missing >6 days in a rolling year. Being four mins late, leaving 4 mins early, or not completing your shift for any reason, counts as missed days. Your shift will be dismissed up to 2 weeks accumulatively each winter with no pay, unless you want to use your PTO... If you have any left. The Manitowoc headquarters is full of self serving management and brown nosers, and if you're not one of them, you're a target. You cannot be yourself openly, because everything you say and do is being watched and documented, to use against you.

Pros

The pay for everyone except lab assistants and receptionists is above average but absolutely not worth the drama.

Cons

Upper level management will complain consistently about the negative culture in the lab while turning a blind eye to the toxic behavior of their lower level supervisors. Lower level management isn't shy about belittling, berating and outright bullying staff by confronting them in an aggressive manner, talking negatively about them in front of peers, using vulgar language toward them or serving a "corrective action" in front of an audience. When issues are brought to lower level supervisors, employees are met with an eye roll or a scoff and the issue is essentially brushed under the rug. When addressing issues with the first link in the chain of command fails, and issues are brought to the next supervisor in line it is simply kicked back down the chain and any employee who "complains" is vilified. Under Forefront Dermatology, complete silence is the best policy. Anyone who has ever spoken up for themselves is considered "problematic" by management and will eventually be bullied into quitting or fired. However, brown-nosing employees are rewarded heavily, regarded as "natural leaders" and allowed to simply wander about the lab without being required to meet any type of productivity standard. Even when management makes an attempt to improve the culture, it is done with back-handed compliments, or incentives like a candy bar and a cheap little card one might give an elementary school student.

Pros

Nothing but the pay, but not worth enduring pain and suffering at this company.

Cons

You will be worked like a dog all day. Team leads sit around and don’t work. They just boss you around all day and make you work faster and harder. They get paid top dollar to gossip and create chaos in the lab. Upper management is in lala land and has no clue to what is going on. When you complain to upper management they defend the team leads and never want to listen to the REAL story. Company lets the team leads run the show and none of them even know how to be a manager or have any experience. A lot of unqualified people work here because they can’t find anyone qualified to work for the company. High turnover rate due to bullying from the team leads and management ignoring their awful behavior. There is no variety in your daily work and they will chain you to a bench for as long as you work there. My advice is save yourself the trouble and just DON’T work here. This place isn’t a company for patient care this place is DRAMA!
