Pros
fun place to be employed at; everyone is good natured and helpful. was able to make my own schedule and work a my own pace. every weekend off and many holidays.
Cons
compensation is no where near the national average; along with benefits. Very long hours with no yearly bonus. salaried positions mean free overtime for owners. Worked on average 50-60hrs to be paid for 40hr work week.

Good pay and supportive supervisors, but nepotism is an issue

Pros
I honestly didn't know what to expect. If you're scientifically minded with a college degree, or just curious, this isn't that type of place. To my surprise, most of my coworkers and even some supervisors didn't have degrees or even formal scientific backgrounds. It's an industrial lab specifically meant to cater toward clients, both government and private, for testing specific samples such as water and soil. The pay was good, very good, but the overtime season can be brutal at times and some of my coworkers seemed to struggle with that. Some departments seem to have stronger team culture and supervisors take an interest in you.
Cons
What I didn't like was the nepotism. Working for a family company isn't all bad, but they will care more about their family than you, and that's just the hard truth. Multiple families or friends appear to work there, and if you're not in, you're likely expendable. But some departments are disorganized, very impersonal, and like to micromanage you relentlessly.
