Pros

Nothing. The company is far from what it use to be.

Cons

Nothing. After many yrs of hard work and loyalty, received the boot when company had a massive layoff. Select people were given positions in other departments, and for others it was a flat out no and no help even to transition to a sister lab with open positions. Seems the company was more interested in saving a dime by axing long term employees with benefits to turn around and hire a bunch of minimum wage no benefit temps. They did this about a month after the layoff. To be given any opportunity here past entry level, you needed to be 1. a direct line of gossip for the lab manager, 2. related to the lab manager or one of her coveted buddies, or 3. fooling around with the right person. Many complaints to HR fell on deaf ears because why you ask...most of the old timers have worked together for years and cover each other’s butts. There is a lot of favoritism and sexual harassment in the culture here. For a long term employee the pay and benefits were good, but the company changed and paying for quality was no longer important.
