This focus sometime leads it to loose sight of good business opportunities.

Cons

No real movement upwards, training is a joke

Cons

The starting pay is low.

Cons

If there is a natural disaster they’ll expect you to rent a boat/helicopter to come in to work. During Hurricane Harvey I was flooded in and had just lost a vehicle, they threatened to fire me if I didn’t burn up my vacation or “find a way to make it in” whenever it was a physical impossibility.

Cons

You don’t move up if you don’t work in the lab. People only care if you show up, not if you actually work or do your job correctly. Moral is low. After nearly five years I’m still an admin 1 and have had 1 raise. They don’t care about their employees.

Cons

Very hierarchical, little flexibility, suffocating environment for creativity

Cons

Company has no good culture , management is bad, outdated and broken equipment, management does not introduce and implement changes, no training on communication skills, inspection and lab sections working against each other

Cons

Bad morale, overall management leads with negative reinforcement.
