Pros

Coworkers are great and go through the same "pains" as you. The benefits are great, good amount of days of PTO starts accruing from day one, 401K match, health/dental/vision benefits, etc

Cons

This is honestly the worst place I could have ever imagined. I highly recommend reconsidering before accepting employment, especially if it is with the PSS (professional scientific staffing) department, ie) not located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. PSS is a brilliant idea, it really is, but the execution is atrocious. They send you to the site that you are going to work at, after three days of training, and then you are completely on your own. I have experienced three managers in just over a year and all have been extremely rude, disorganized, incompetent, and unfit to manage people. The pay is very low compared to industry standard. They do nothing to accommodate proper hygiene (I've been wearing the same dirty lab coat for months) and they don't care about your safety and health concerns in the lab. They have no concern for your personal life or work/life balance. You will be required to "be flexible to the clients needs" and have to work 10-12 hour days and every weekend. If you ask for vacation months ahead of time, they still won't give you approval until a week before so there is no planning long vacations with flights. I really don't recommend this company at all. If you file an ethics complaint, they will completely ignore you, and then your manager will scream at you and tell you to never try to go over their heads again. They tell you that they "hire from within"...don't listen to them, that is not true. After a year of working there they will tell you that they "made a mistake" with your title, give you a new title and many more tasks to do, but no raise because "that is what you were actually hired at the entire time."

Pros

Flexible about PTO and decent benefits. Had really good coworkers.

Cons

When management is bad, its real bad. Makes it real difficult to work with the micromanaging, lack of support and appreciation, and incompetent management that rather protect egos than worrying about unsustainable employee turnover rates.
