I wanted to like this job - Senior Microbiology Technician Food Safety Net Services Employee Review

The building is old and is falling apart. Cracked tiles, exposed wood on counter tops, equipment breaking down and flooding the area every month, and most importantly the AC is never properly fixed. It's in the middle of summer, and some parts of the lab reach 85+F on a daily basis. One time our media department was sent home because it was over 90F in that area alone. Instead, corporate decides to spend more money building new labs and fixing things that were never issues in the past. No one is passionate about food safety here, not even management. Everyone, even management, complains all day about one thing or another and there is nothing being done about morale. We are constantly losing people and can't keep up with the high turnover. Since starting this job, ~20 people have left, with more to follow. And I've only been here for a year! Work-life balance is a joke, and overtime is practically mandatory to keep up with the workload. Overall, I do not trust our results that we send out to clients.
