Pros
Good place to get experience after college. Flexible schedule, donuts every Wednesday. Good potlucks, a lot of food all year around.
Cons
The people that keep writing all those positive reviews about how awesome this company is and about how great it is to be a part owner is probably making a lot of money and not sweating as much as the rest of us that make an average of $14 an hour. They brain wash people into working harder for the sake of "their" company and stocks, but we don't get to see any of that money. When we ask for raises there's no money and if they happened give us one we get few cents. We are part owners but we work like slaves, in order to get the stock money you need to invest 6 years working here and if you quit after those 6 years you won't get that money right away, you will get it after another six years. If you quit before you invest 6 years you don't get to take anything with you. They screwed over all the old timers in the company because they had good 401K retirement but now the company doesn't match that and the stocks we get are not based in the amount of years they've worked for this lab. So technically they don't have enough time to save money in that new retirement account. The person that wrote the preview review also mention about the "few" negative people in the lab, let me tell you...there are more than few unhappy employees, the problem is that you can't say anything in the lab because everything you say would be used against you. There have been some lucky ones that had left this place, just an examples... 4 people quit in two months and more are getting ready to leave. I guess being a part lab owner is not that great after all. People would be happier if they got paid more, but they want us to work harder, more efficient, less overtime for the same amount of money. I'm sure upper management is getting paid a lot since they are the only ones happy around this place. Oh! and about getting experience... You don't get promoted here and if you happened to learn something new is because they are short staffed and they don't want to hire new people so they cross train the ones already here.
