Pros

Small environment know everyone well

Cons

Extremely toxic management, CEO won’t let go of anything and dislikes anyone who suggests any form of change. CFO very hard to work with, management archaic and don’t want to move forward, company v stagnant in change. Not agile or dynamic in anyway as they suggest. Horrendous with mental health and well being

Pros

Decent pay although it doesn't feel that way in an expensive area. Easy to feel busy and productive everyday.

Cons

Horrible work environment promoted by management. Promotions and disciplinary intervention are solely dependent on favoritism. Employee performance does not determine their treatment. Individuals who are vindictive, lazy, or incompetent can get away with it. Management was out of touch and rarely witnessed actual lab and field operations. This resulted in poor communication about rules which were usually only invoked to retaliate. Harassment was also prevalent. General demeaning comments about women as a class, sexual comments about appearances, blatant staring, and persistent asking out by coworkers made coming to work extra miserable.
