Pros

You work with varying tissue. More paid holidays than most companies.

Cons

1) The technicians get paid below value. They use the premise of not being licensed, however they do not push for their technicians to pursue their licensing. 2) the is no cross training. 3) if you show managerial qualities, they will try to use your skills and keep you at your current position. There is not true title change or raise in pay. 4) their training protocols are horrible. You will need to be research on your own and adapt quickly. Considering they hire mostly unlicensed techs, it is surprising how little training they give. 5) Gossip is worse than high schoolers. It comes from upper management and trickles down. 6) No one take accountability for their actions, mistakes, or the fallout. This is from the head (lab director and COO) down to the assistants. It's always a blame game and only certain individuals are given grace or out right leniency (undeserved). 7) Upper management will blatantly lie to you and string you along if you let them. 8) The pay grade is ridiculously low for how specialized their specimens are.

Pros

You get pressured and guilt tripped into doing extra work that you're not qualified or trained in. You'll work harder than ever, with less pay. They tell you to take the lesser paycheck because at least you have job at the end of day. If you always say "yes", they will keep you because you're cheap and will do free work.

Cons

Got let go during a medical leave. Say it was for budget cuts. Worked for 5+ years. There is no loyalty or warning. Took a lesser paycheck the first time there were "budget cuts". If this keeps happening again and again, why do we even hire people? No one stays here, everyone keeps leaving. Upper management keeps lying and gossiping about everyone. Toxic workplace. COO and director does not know how to manage people or work in lab. Will not lift finger to help. Everyone good does not stay long, always leave quickly because they know workplace is toxic. No growth, upper management will say you're getting there and will be promoted, but never does. Director gossips about employees to people he interviews, never good things about the employees. Upper management forces people to write good reviews. They expect salary people to work more than their 9 hour work days, because they do not get overtime. Low quality work done by unqualified, unlicensed, uneducated people because they're cheaper to hire.
