Pros

Insurance...and that's about it. There are no pros for working at Harris County Institute of Forensic Science.

Cons

Do not apply for this job. The pay is a meager $14 an hour and you will deal with some of the most dangerous situations. You do not get raises and there is no overtime paid, yet you will constantly work late. They require you to have a college degree yet pay you as if you worked at Mcdonalds. HCIFS does not care about its employees and constantly puts them in dangerous situations with no regard for safety. There are many OSHA violations that are ongoing yet no one seems to want to do anything about it. This is not a place you want to work.

Pros

None, it's toxic here. Managers/supervisors speak Vietnamese and will speak Vietnamese among each other while talking crap. Yes it's true. Instead of having closed door meetings they prefer to talk in Vietnamese thinking you won't understand.

Cons

JP 1-1. Very toxic workplace. Favoritism and nepotism runs rampant. Expect micromanaging (they think it's called fast paced but its micromanaging). Supervisors will stand behind you while you work to see how fast you type, how fast you work, what you do in general. The favorites get to do whatever they want, take as many breaks, without any repercussions. Supervisors like to talk crap about defendants, claim Judge gives out "handouts" when he actually gives back to the community. One of the supervisors is completely condescending. I took FMLA to look for another job. I also applied while on the clock. Avoid this place, there is high turn over. During the interview they asked for party affiliation, if you're "drama" and if you are willing to commit 5 years to this place (no contract gets signed anyway, why would they ask this?).
