Worst company I’ve ever worked for

Pros

The lab itself is very nice, and they are building to expand it.

Cons

Where to even begin… Matrix Sciences bought out this lab in May of 2021 and have since destroyed everything it used to be. Matrix cares far more about acquiring clients than they do treating their employees well. Our schedules were changed multiple times, and the final change was making people work every Saturday indefinitely, which is not what any of us had signed up for. New hires got paid $4-$6 less than we did, and they were doing the same work. The hours are stated as 8-4, 9-5, or 10-6 on rotation. Soon enough that 10-6 turned into 10-midnight because of how many companies Matrix acquired, which increased our work load as heaps of people were quitting. This job isn’t even worth it if you’re an entry level employee, you will not have a life if you work here.

Pros

The pay is alright and I made some lifelong friends from this job. The turnover rate is extremely high so you meet a good bit of new people.

Cons

Overtime is mandatory, management is terrible and not proactive, autoclaves are on the verge of exploding, and equipment is always broken making the job difficult because management expects quotas to be hit with nothing working. Absolutely no work-life balance and the training system is inconsistent and doesn’t work. The branch needs to be shut down or new management needs to be implemented. Also, the hiring freeze shouldn’t be a thing, they are severely understaffed.

Poor management pushes you away

Pros

Time off requests are always approved, co-workers are great and always willing to assist in your development

Cons

A lot of favoritism. Relationships with supervisor and lab leads make or break your progression in the company. If they don’t like you, they will stick you somewhere that they don’t have to deal with/worry about you. Your concerns are brushed off. Lack of transparency and lack of communication. Had to hear a lot changes and information secondhand. Disorganized and lack of accountability. Demanding and overtime (10-12 hour shifts) may not be mandatory but strongly encouraged and pushed
