Long hours, low pay and no investment in employees

Pros

Most of the people you'll work with are warm, intelligent and a joy to work with. It's also a really great opportunity for those in Sales or Customer Service who just want to get experience. You get handed a lot of responsibilities and you learn a lot in a short period of time.

Cons

They mandate that you work ten hours of overtime every pay period but then do not pay you for it since you are salary. However, if you go ten minutes over on lunch you are docked on your paycheck. It's privately owned and the CEO is emotional and micro-managing. You have to get every little thing approved directly from him, and it's common place to ask his secretary, "How's Tom's mood today?" because everyone knows if it's bad you are not getting your things signed and you will have yet another disappointed customer on your hands. He let's his emotions dictate his decisions and this jeopardizes your commissions. Every department is working against each other and no one will go out of their way to help you. Many of the employees who've been here for a long time are related to the CEO and are so complacent and lazy you can never get anything done in a timely manner. Basically this job sucks every ounce of life out of you and pays you the absolute bare minimum. I'm getting out as soon as possible.

Pros

Experience I learned about the industry. Self taught mostly.

Cons

Nepotism. Constantly being belittled, never being rewarded for outstanding performance but always being micro-managed. Everyone drags their feet at this company. My health was in severe decline due to this company, very glad I left. Benefits were meager at best.

Pros

Everyone really is friendly once you take the time to talk to them but cliques are everywhere at whatever company so workers should just keep this in mind. If you work hard and your ethical values are apparent then you will move up the company fine. I've declined to perform some job functions that I didn't necessarily agree with and it was fine. I enjoyed working with my direct manager and directors in the past and the availability to learn from mistakes (and I will admit that there were a lot of them) as well as build from the deficiencies is there. I saw working here as an opportunity to learn and build an understanding of the business.

Cons

The pay was way low for someone with a scientific background so I would recommend this job to all zero-experience to entry level scientists looking to learn and invest their time in contributing to the science aspect of this field. If they're going to pay you a lot, it's because they're going to overwork you or expect that you perform a miracle of a job to help them fix major deficiencies and better their projects. There's a lot of nepotism as well and if you're not Vietnamese, good luck trying to fit in and be accepted. The front office culture vs. the manfacturing vs. the lab are all completely different if you're not in management. There will be petty arguments and whistle-blowers from employee to employee as if to get one another in trouble. It's strange... very childish and it's like you're being watched by EVERYONE to get caught slipping. Very uncomfortable in terms of the environment to work in.
