Pros
Teammates and free snacks "for onsite consumption"
Kontras
hmm, where do I start..? I started over 2.5 years ago and have seen how your benefits get taken away little by little. Most of the management on the lab side was promoted internally with no training on how to be a good leader/manager. There is a lot of high school drama between employees and management. PTO is now on accrual, with no accrual on time off. No 401k. HR does not investigate allegations, but instead goes through with allegations and includes the accuser's name in the accusation. There is a lack of confidentiality and trust. HR has also been known to name-call if you present a concern and their investigation resulted in "nothing/no issue found". TONS of safety concerns that quickly get disregarded by management, some times I would get an emoji thumbs up as a reaction to said concerns. Many people have developed physical symptoms due to volatile chemical smells in the lab with no management present to handle the situation. Employees are not valued and are disregarded every single day. It is rare to see any management in the lab and instead manage through computers. Management thinks that ice cream socials are going to keep employees happy but we are not children we do not need ice cream and crafts to satisfy us.
