Microchem Laboratory(US) Reviews

There's a reason no one stays for much longer than a year. People leave in droves. Highly unprofessional environment which includes publicly shaming individuals and open cattiness. Easily the most aggressive micro-managing at a company I've ever seen. Employees are overworked, often under-trained, & underpaid. The benefits are so bad you might as well not have them. No room for career growth--- the place is a permanent "start-up".

Toxic work environment. Poor management. Inadequate benefits. Lunch hour unpaid. Breaks are not allowed. Upper management is unprofessional, will openly discuss promotions as well as scold/ ridicule employees publicly. Hard to maintain momentum and meet deadlines if you want to have some work-life balance. No true HR department. Managment writes positive reviews on Glassdoor or requires employees to write favorable reviews. Typically a bad review is followed up by 2-4 positive ones and managment will go on a “witch-hunt” to figure out who wrote the negative one. Company will not give references. Growing pains are causing most employees to feel overworked and underpaid. No formal training processes. “Sink or swim mentality.” Almost everything in the lab is too old, needs to be fixed, doesn’t work or is rigged to operate. Managment ignores these needs due to expense he deems unnecessary. Upper management micromanages team leads. Daily safety concerns (hand washing and glove disposal) ignored by management.
