Pros

Legitimate business serving legitimate clients. You receive legitimate work experience that enables you to get a better job ASAP. Management will give you a chance regardless of previous experience. Consistent position availability. If the team is good, you'll have fun.

Cons

Couriers had to drive to Riverside, CA roundtrip in one shift (18-20 hours) without overtime pay. Lab equipment is unreliable - lots of downtime and troubleshooting. Owners are very condescending, pompous, and arrogant. If you can analyze the bottom line, you can be ahead of her rants and outbursts about expenses (possibly call in sick that day!). Vehicles constantly broke down stranding drivers in middle California in the early morning hours. Project and Lab Managers are the go-to resources for staff, owners schedule is never consistent. If called in for an interview, the owner will make you wait (power move?).

Pros

Flexible Hours good experience on lab equipment.... if you are tech savy..... but there are more cons and pros.....

Cons

Paid minimum wage, no upward mobility, no organisation, no investment on workforce, all employees started as drivers and are placed in the lab after lab techs were fired or got the right idea and left. I worked at excelchem for about a year and during my time here I saw at least 8 people hired and fired. All employees with a bachelors degree will be paid minimum wage and will be treated like nothing. It might seem like a perfect place to work after college but there is not.
