It is a good place to get laboratory experience out of college that's it. The pay for laboratory personnel is pitiful. Management has unrealistic expectations for turnaround times and does not care about employees well being. Management expects employees to work overtime, holidays, and weekends. The company has also outgrown the building, nearly every square inch of the lab benches are covered in laboratory supplies, making analysis very difficult. Employee retention is terrible, most laboratory personnel only last 3-6 months, and occasionally someone will make it a full year. This poor retention leads to additional stress and improperly trained staff because the remaining employees must take on the additional work and train new hires themselves on top of it. Then the rest of the staff are old and ready to retire and when they do I can see the company going out of business.

Working in the field your schedule changes on an hourly basis sometimes. As calls come in and emergency situations arise, you can be sent out to an entirely different place than expected at short notice. Occasionally long hours, once trained you are on your own unless you have questions, you are rarely bothered by management during the day.

Fast paced, especially busy around Holliday times. Not many opportunities to grow due to size of the company. Fun, family atmosphere, good benefits. Probably, would still work there if had a dissent pay.

Hours were great, but that was about it.  No communication, and management never kept you in the loop. Always getting told things last minute, that they knew about for a while.

Family owned and operated, but often does not feel that way. That being said, it is a good place to start your career in environmental science as long as you're not hung up on making a lot of money; use it as a springboard to something better. 

Very old fashioned company with owners who show up and work, and a grown up professional culture. No drama.  No mean people.  Nice place to work. Nice people.
