Pros
No commute downtown - that’s about it. Middle management will for the most part try to make it a pleasant experience for you, as much as they have the power to.
Cons
They discourage having photos of your family posted - despite the fact that’s the only reason anybody even works there, to take care of their family. Expect everyone to perform the work of at least 3 positions. Keep complaining that nobody is doing the work they did 5 years ago (productivity is down) but institute the most asinine procedures that make it impossible to get ANYTHING done. Hound people about on-time trainings (of which there are many) but then senior leadership has 50+ late training tasks that have been sitting for over a year and nobody in upper management cares. Middle managers are blamed for all the culture problems, but are overworked. They’re constantly told to justify and explain every tiny little thing that goes on in the labs. They’re viewed under a microscope and micromanaged so they never get to implement any of their original ideas or improve things on their own. Then when revenue is low or work is slow they’re blamed and told it’s their fault, despite the fact that it’s sales who is supposed to bring in more work. Nobody on the upper leadership team wants to take any responsibility for anything and just keeps thinking of new ways to make working there worse.
