Pros

+ Great people in the lab and team leaders were lovely + Easy but tiring job + Good for graduates to get lab experience

Cons

- Upper management awful - Upper management treat you like trash - Happy to change contracted hours without asking the employee or changing the contract (My contracted hours were 11pm - 7am which were fine, 1 month in - 2 am -10 am guys!) Completely destroyed my life. - Insultingly low wage - Unrealistic targets for sample processing - No chance for career progression unless you stay on minimum wage for 10 years

Thank you for your review – we believe the negativity is a result of your dismissal from the Company. In relation to the points you have mentioned, you were consulted with and agreed to a change in working patterns, you were on the wage for your role and in addition received an unsociable “shift” allowance of 15%. We have a productivity model in place which ensures that we align the correct resources to work volumes. We are not actively seeking to employee graduates and yes, we do boast about the excellent suite of “benefits” and “values” that we do have in place.

Pros

Good pay with opportunities. There are always openings.

Cons

Dumbest and most inexperienced management at any company. If you play the political game, you're in. Your knowledge, experience, and accomplishments mean nothing compared to how you suck up.
