Great people! - Anonymous employee Xenometrics Employee Review

You get to pick the weekends you work. You also get to pick the holidays you work. You get overtime which about 80% of the people don't mind at all. You can also pick the after hours that you work. Obviously if you don't sign up for any every they get assigned. With the company changing over, many have gotten raises and the company is going through many positive changes including remodeling Great work family!!!

There are cons to any business and like my title says, the grass is not greener on the other side. Many people complain about management but yet don't talk to them about any issues they are having. Management can't really fix anything that they don't know about. Drama with the technicians. It is a little bit like I stepped into high school all over again. It's not horrible but sometimes maturity is left at home. This is actually not a bad place to work as long as you do your job and don't take it for granted.

I worked at Xeno for about 1 year. I enjoyed my time there, I worked in the chemistry department. I know there are lots of reviews for animal lab techs, and they seemed unhappy and were worked harder than I was. I was by myself most of the day which I liked, just mixed up formulations and revised papers for the program directors. Hours were good, worked 6 am to 2 pm most days. Rarely weekends. Would have worked here longer, but I left to go to medical school. Decent benefits. Positive work environment (for me). Great co-workers.

-Not great at giving direction, had no clue who my direct boss was for months -Senior boss was negative, I avoided him like the plague, thankfully I didn't run into him often -My interview was horrendous, the senior boss (see above comment) interviewed me. If I wasn't desperate, I never would have taken the job based off his demeanor during the interview. The senior boss told me I "wasn't that bright". Direct quote. My reaction was I laughed and asked him why we were still having the interview then. He gave me the job right then. I know he was just messing with me, but it was very unprofessional. I left this job to go to medical school. I'm bright lol. -No way to move up, as other reviewers have stated, but it is a decent entry level job right out of college -they know employees are going to leave, and thus treat them as expendable. Kind of a vicious cycle.
