A once good company, destroyed by corporate greed
Pros
Meaningful work, fellow colleagues are good to work with.
Cons
The decline of Cellmark in the last few years has been staggering. How Eurofins have managed to essentially buy out the entirety of UK Forensics is worrying. They came into Cellmark as partners but have completely corporatised Cellmark, gutted staff with the expectation that the few staff that remain pick up the slack. Constant ‘money saving’ techniques employed by Eurofins usually come at a detriment to the staff working in the labs. As a former lab worker, you are treated as nothing but a disposable number with little to no support from middle management. Eurofins are actively deceiving their customers and I am convinced that they are devaluing and ruining Cellmark’s reputation in order to buy the company outright in some sort of loophole hole to avoid monopoly investigations. The disgusting, greedy, out of touch upper management care about nothing else apart from profit for the shareholders… in a forensic company. The threats of redundancy and the incompetence of management lead me to leave a job I used to love. On top of all this, the pay is abysmal and no meaningful benefits are included.
