Pros

Really really intelligent and hardworking people in Brecksville who have been making do with limited resources all along.

Cons

They’re shutting down our site and making everyone move to Wickliffe (30 miles away) which is a serious hardship for many. No acknowledgement of this hardship and 2x,3x,4x our commutes. Lab employees still required 5 days per week in their newly awful commute roles.

Pros

Even with current political tensions, LZ is still allowing cultural programs which support diversity and inclusion throughout the organization. Working in a lab setting and having supportive management that understand work life balance is beneficial as long as the work is getting done. Supportive of using company time to volunteer in community investment. Most employees are supportive and willing to help each out.

Cons

No opportunity for advancement. Low yearly pay increases, with too much focus on pushing individuals to do more as “personal development”. Health benefit package is limited and costly, vacation promised isn’t always given, too many middle and upper management, with continued turnover before you even know who they are and what they do. Most scientist and engineers have no other working experience besides education and lack experience, which prevents opportunities for innovation. Co-ops have better opportunities than long term full time employees.
