Covance – “This job sucks if you have a family and want ANY work/life balance.”

Pros

The benefits are great, but that's about it.

Cons

The Dallas site is like office space. The management is ineffective, and the folks who do mediocre work are promoted. The superstars are forced to stay put, because the company does not have the resources or ability to replace them. The clinic staff are treated like dogs, and have no way to plan any family time because schedules are never available more than a week in advance. Overtime is not allowed, so salaried non-managers are expected to work 60 hours per week to take up the slack. They have some STUPID idiots in management positions, and some smart ones with no backbone. The environment is perfect for a workaholic schizophrenics. The more paranoid and distrusting you are of others... the better. That skill will serve you well there.

Advice to Senior Management

When you cut the head off the old Radiant regime... you missed a few pieces that are poisoning all your efforts to rebuild. Your supervisors who remained are undermining all the new management's efforts. I would not trust them.
