Kontras
Constant overtime, working around 50 hours a week is a slow week. Many of the policies are senseless and there is a good chance of having something held against you as a reason to not be given a raise, which is something that comes up only once a year. The lab is on a rotating swing shift that should give you 40 hours a week and once a month, a four day weekend. However due to staffing issues and a high turnover there is an endless amount of overtime and having 4-7 12 hour days is normal. The work is easy, but due to a the amount of work you are expected to complete it can be stressful if you are the type of person who wants to finish all their assigned work. Many of the employees complain, when they first start with the company. After working there for a while employees become complacent and stop complaining to management as no changes are actually implemented. Management does claim they will try to improve conditions but have been saying that for years.
