the worst place to work

Pros

salary for upper level employees was decent, but not for technicians

Cons

I bet you anything that the last two reviews from "current employees" dated May 2015 are from the management. They will do anything to try and make the company appear better - except that they would not change the way they treat people. By the way, the benefits were also the worst I have ever had.

Pros

If you need experience doing cell culture work, this is a good place to start. They are willing to hire biology students without any experience.

Cons

There seems to be little to no growth potential at this company and there seems to be a very high turnover. The longest seated employee has worked here for less than one year. The management is unwilling to be flexible on scheduling and willfully, purposefully and admittedly try to make their employees work late every day. There is no development of talent, organization of projects or appreciation of employees opinions/suggestions. Employees are often asked to work far outside their skillset with no instruction or protocol, but are reprimanded when things go awry. Work is dumped on employees last-minute and projects are started without proper prep-time, understanding of purpose/procedure or timemanagement planning (to the point where other, equally important work is left undone, at which point employees are again reprimanded).

Pros

The only pro was job security and mild benefits.

Cons

Management is verbally abusive and doesn't listen to reasonable requests. They treat you more as servants than as people. There's no room to grow. The salary is very weak. I wouldn't recommend working here to my worst enemy.
