Don't Ruin Your Career With This Under Equipped and Scapegoating Company - Research Associate Enfold Employee Review

Now on to the cons; this company is riddled with avoidable problems and preventable mistakes: The company is severely underequipped to be tackling anything science. It almost feels like you're in an elementary school science lab where they just put you through the motions for fun. They lack basic glassware, to the point where you're hard pressed to find a glass beaker or flask. There is no autoclave and the pipettes are divvied out amongst the older employees, so you're constantly borrowing someone elses. Speaking of pipettes, many of them are not calibrated and the benches are often left in a huge mess of tools and samples with nobody cleaning up. Sanitation may be an issue, as biohazard is handled in a casual manner and there isn't an actual autoclave for proper sterlization. Protocols are written out poorly and suggested changes to make them better with no inconvenience to the user are dismissed in an arrogant manner as if management thinks they know everything. This feeds back to lower level employees as managers then blame them for problems that could have been prevented if the nature of the protocol was fixed. My boss once tried to claim that a project took 6 hours instead of 3 because he couldn't tell that the email server was working on Eastern Standard Time instead of Pacific Standard Time. Don't set yourself up for blame and avoid working here. HR and upper management are very unprofessional; HR is almost never present (you're lucky to see them once a week) and upper management is not present to evaluate. Health benefits supposed to start after three months but there was no mention of it. High turnover rate is indicative of problems. Pay is marginally low average; but they'll try to tell you it's above average.
