Pros

-The actual teams of non-management employees were amazing people, if overworked and obviously stressed. -Good pay and benefits -Lots of good experience

Cons

-Management, especially at the C-Suite level, was a mess. In Life Sciences specifically leadership was terrible during my tenure. Constant infighting that spilled downwards. While there were some exceptions (The heads of Quality and Sales/Marketing were nice, as was the former Director) on the whole management is toxic. -No sense of where the company is going. People laid off clearly to protect the bottom line with no respect for their years of loyalty. -The Mothership of RWS in England barely showed any interest in the Life Sciences division, and never helped. -Sterile and unfriendly work environment. People would stick to their cliques in their teams, but rarely ventured beyond that.

Pros

Decent paying side job, flexible hours

Cons

Absolute nightmare to get paid. You WILL have to complain in order to get paid, and you will most likely have to complain more than once in order to get the answer you need. I still haven't been paid for work done months ago! Everyone that reads this with a similar issue needs to do what I did and bring it to the attention of the state labor boards.
