Pros

None, zero, zip, nada, no pros

Cons

The death of the genetic testing lab and business can be laid squarely at the feet of former management officials. They are both long gone (One was fired and another left town before facing the same fate). He was an incredibly bad CEO and she was an absolute terror who ruined almost everything she touched. Genetic testing is not an easy business and you need good, nimble management to make a good of it. These two made sure to run in the operation into the ground where it now is. And let's face it, if a billionaire hadn't been kicking them a million here and there over the years, they would have had to turn the lights off years ago. To all the people who lost your jobs as a result of this mess, I'm sorry. Look to the future and gain from the connections you have made and experiences you have had. Look ahead and not back. Good luck.

Pros

Growing small company allows employees to map out their career and take on new challenges Family-like atmosphere; Family comes first Recent influx of new investors New management with new attitude

Cons

Small group of unprofessional, resentful employees not willing to change from the "old" way of running our business while we grow (see review from 2 weeks ago); thankfully they are being weeded out quickly Acquisition of new technologies and companies can cause issues with constant influx of new tasks, personalities, issues

Pros

Flexible schedule. Lots of employees set their own schedule/hours (some employees worked 4 - 10hr shifts). It's a perfect job for parents of young kids (who often get sick). No issues with sick time and/or punching a clock and being hounded for being 1 minute late. Incredible sense of autonomy (Employees are allowed to manage their every day tasks - no micromanaging)!

Cons

Pay is not very competitive, however, the position gives you the skills necessary to achieve a higher paying position at other companies. Ie, it's a good entry level position for new graduates who don't have any laboratory experience. Learn a lot and push yourself to do your best while you're there, and you can move on to other higher paying positions in a few years.
