Compare before and after variables (Kjeldsberg vs. Ashwood).

Pros

Great benefits, work out rooms, and daycare

Cons

When I started here it was great 5 years ago. With new management the focus is no longer on employees but on making money. There is no more loyalty and people are being eliminated and treated as waste after 10, 15, 25 years worth of service.

Pay is much lower than other places

Pros

Fast-paced and highly diverse company with a multitude of testing options and areas of specialization. Easy to find almost any type of laboratory work you might desire to gain experience in, and usually there are good chances to switch to a new area after a few years to help add new areas of expertise to your work history.

Cons

High throughput sometimes becomes difficult to manage. When the entire workforce in your area is stretched to its capacity, it often takes overtime hours to complete assigned tasks. Pressure can come from management to take on more responsibilities without receiving any extra help to complete the assignments.

Advice to Senior Management

I know it is difficult to balance the profitability and market share of the business with the staffing needs of the various technical sections, but I would strongly advise that the addition of new positions to assist with high workloads be given a greater consideration.

Abandon "employees, managers, supervisirs of the month" - too political and we know it.
