Deerpoint Group, Inc.

To be blunt, there is no opportunity to move up within the lab. Deerpoint Group plays favorites, so if you're a sycophant then you'll do fine here. There's lots of room for improvement, however they don't like changes especially if it's going to cost more. Management likes buying the cheapest thing available even if it makes the employees work load more difficult. They make promises of purchasing new and necessary items but never follow through on them, yet they always pressure the workers to get the results faster than physically possible. Management definitely has temperment issues but are huge in acting like they are part of this big "Deerpoint Group Family" in front of new workers. Although they ask for a Bachelor's degree to work for the lab, this department is very underpaid and their goal is to ultimately hire anyone newly graduated from college with little work experience so they can under pay them. I recommend looking for work elsewhere if you want to feel respected and appreciated. Since this is a seasonal job, they do come in whenever they suspect the lab doesn't have samples to run and lay them off. This company is known for lay offs and frequently firing employees to hire new ones for cheaper wages. Don't waste your time here, you can do better.

You would expect a company that has been around for 10 years to offer there employees stability and growth but this company is far from it. There is no employee retention plan and instead a strong fire and rehire method to keep wages low. Why pay an employee who has been around and knows what to do a couple dollars more than someone you can train in a couple months to do it for far less. The company offers good benefits to whoever can hold out the longest. When you first start you’ll get hired on seasonally or as a temp. meaning you’ll be doing everything a full time employee would do but with a lower wage without benefits, no sick pay, no holiday pay, no vacation accumulation, no 401k. And while most people would think just wait it out until then, they will fire you before you even get the benefits. It could take 6 months to a year to use any health benefits or time off. You’re better off finding another job that will actually hire you as a full time employee right away with benefits, because I guarantee you’ll be looking for another job in the same year after leaving this place.

Starting out as a lab tech allows you to learn many analytical techniques but the work can be pretty repetitive since you work with hundreds of plant, water, and soil samples & perform a plethora of tests on each sample. Definitely felt they could've used a few more lab techs to make the expected daily throughput more achievable & the overall atmosphere less hectic/stressful. That being said, this made the workday go by relatively fast. The pay was on the lower side- especially considering the amount of work they expected out of us and what was actually feasible with the amount of techs on board. Upper management would sometimes say unprofessional and inappropriate stuff about staff behind their backs which was very odd at some points and potentially an HR nightmare. For the most part, they will give you the opportunity to move up within the company if you so choose (more so outside of the lab as there were limited positions in the analytical realm to begin with) 

Deerpoint Group offers good compensation, benefits, and technical opportunities, particularly in lab and agricultural roles. 

However, beware as this work environment supports high pressure, inconsistent leadership, toxic culture, and emotional toll from management styles. Yelling and cursing at staff. Favoritism and micromanagement. Sudden firings and poor conflict resolution. Expect 10–12 hour workdays, often without additional compensation or appreciation. The company is described as chaotic, with “everything needed yesterday” urgency and frequent last-minute changes. They may sell themselves as innovative and family-like, but there's a  disconnect between image and reality. Promised raises, promotions, or culture improvements reportedly don’t materialize.

Working here was a nightmare. As a lab tech we had to train ourselves and when we asked for help management would refer us to look in standard operating procedures. Management is very selfish and won't allow you to move up. During the busy season higher management ignores the lab department and gives all the credit to the manager. When it's off season that's when higher management will keep an eye on it's lab employees to make sure they are working. During the off-season higher management seems to be so bored that they call your attention when in reality you're doing your job but to them it seems unnecessary, however they complain when you stop doing it and it creates a messy environment. There's favoritism within the company so if management doesn't like you they will keep you for the busy season and then you are out. Overall, not a good place to work and toxic environment. Keep away!


A typical day of work consists of driving to job sites and communicating with our customers. You are learning something new every day as you encounter different situations. The hardest part of the job is in-season when we work long hours in the summer heat. The most enjoyable part of the job is having the freedom of working by yourself and traveling to different areas.  

Over an hour commute.  No loyalty to hard working employees. The couple that own this company, have supposedly worked for big corporations, yet how they conduct themselves, treat their employees is extremely unprofessional-yelling, using foul language.  They have also started rumors about employees that quit, telling people they had emotional issues or a drinking problem.  It is best to stay away.  There has been a 20% turnover sine the first of this year.

I came to work here with high hope that it was a good company.  They made it seem good during the interview process. From day one it was the most dysfunctional place that I've ever worked at. From the top to the temps. This place is in need of a real plant manager that is allowed to do his job along side other department managers. But it's being held back by poor ownership that doesn't let managers manage. I have witnessed arguments and verbal abuse from ownership. Stay away from this place if you don't want to worry about your job depending on the daily mood of ownership. 

After all my years of working, I have never been at a more dysfunctional job. They hire you on as a temp with the promise of making you full time. Everything from the top to the bottom needs a complete overhaul. Management walks around yelling and arguing in front of employees. The owners will come out and start yelling at the employees. Seen people come in and quit within a week because of the environment. Only work here if you are desperate for a job. But even then, I would rather stay unemployed than ever work here again.

Worked here expecting it to be a turning stone in my life, quickly noticed how toxic the environment was especially in “training” Deerpoints culture revolves in management thinking fear is the way to manage employees, new quotas are being made almost everyday meaning managers hustle you to make them look good, management is very inconsistent and has caused co workers to have mental breakdowns even on calls just for help. Biggest issue was asking for help without being scolded or put down, wouldn’t recommend this company.
