Unfair Pay Within the Company - Assistant Scientist PPD Employee Review

Pros

Some of your coworkers are nice. You bond amongst struggle like other service industry jobs.

Cons

There is significant discrepancy with pay amongst analysts. Assistant scientists hired before Jan2021 were paid 18/hr. Assistant scientists hired after that date were paid 19/hr. Nobody else was bumped up when the assistant scientist salary was increased. There is an analyst performed ELISA testing, working 60 hour work weeks, and constantly being criticized by his supervisor still making $1 less /hr than an analyst who runs maybe 2 low complexity tests/week. You’re constantly asked to perform tasks above and beyond your job description, but then told there’s a freeze on promotions and raises even though the company is consistently bragging about bringing in millions in profit. If you’re thinking about working here, don’t. The environment is toxic and management does nothing about it.

Pros

Compensation and bonus has been available through ebbs and flows of business. Hard work is typically seen and rewarded.

Cons

7 line managers in 10 years (through one role change) Company restructures often. You must be willing to adapt and thrive in constant change.
