Pros
There's always fantastic gossip and everyone at the low end of the totem pole commiserates in their misery
Cons
I could write a book. The workload was abusive and unfair. Even if you do go above and beyond, there isn't any reward or recognition. I consistently was doing 3 peoples' jobs, some of which I was vastly unqualified for or shouldn't have been doing because they were not anywhere near my job description. I did not feel respected or appreciated, and left work every day burnt out. I tried to contact Human Resources, but they don't check their email. Favoritism and nepotism are extremely evident in the company's hierarchy, as it seems management is trying to get the "right" people under them while ignoring the general staff's needs and complaints. When it comes to the actual operations and production, there was an overall lack of oversight in the laboratory which continuously led to errors, scientists not following SOPs, and violations everywhere. After working for quality control there, I wouldn't ever recommend taking or using their products.
