ABC Laboratories – “Good first job right out of college, but not for long term employment”

Pros

The coworkers are generally helpful and good to be around. They made work worth going to. Many of the PhD scientists are very smart and very willing to help and train new employees if they have the time.

Cons

Some members of the lower management team are not completely competent in their job (management wise and science wise). Promotions and favoritism go hand in hand. Suck up to the boss if you want to move up.

Advice to Senior Management

The employee moral is very low. The management team is not doing anything to fix this, especially when they are "cracking down" on things such as deeming small talk between coworkers as unprofessional and unacceptable.
