Toxic environment, purposely built that way by leadership team. I have never worked at a place where leadership is openly combative and seeks to put themselves in a position to TAKE from their team members. This company has had 3 private equity ownerships, and the current one is the only one that has treated employees just terribly. 

A few things - pay is garbage for hourly folks in operations. 

The sales team is wined and dined, gifted expensive trips and extravagant award ceremonies . 

Operations team has a "carnival" on their lunch hour on a budget so weak, that the managers had to pitch in to purchase a grand prize for a team member because leadership wouldn't pony up $450 for a big screen TV. That's no joke. That happened. 

All the strong OPS leaders were either fired, chased away, or left because of how their teams were treated.

They will tout their "culture" when trying to bring on new hires, but don't be fooled. This place is nothing but toxic in the culture department. That may change when they sell, but until then, I recommend you give this place a very wide berth and seek employment elsewhere

To start it is through a temp agency as a temp to perm employee, the permanent position is a lie, management only hire family, friends and those doing favors for them, all else are frequently knocked down through rules made up on the spot for them to claim you broke. Management frequently discriminates against employees through various encounters. The shift you are assigned will be changed frequently making it near impossible to hold a social life outside of work. Management does not care about the product they produce using machines that have not been cleaned since the day they got them to produce medical products that are supposed to be sterile, no procedure is in place to sterilize products after production. The production lines break down daily and maintenance and management blame the operators yet never put a cent into fixing the problems.

In short you’ll do well if you are friends or family with management, and you’ll do decent if you are willing to crawl under the desk for management. All others are worthless as far as management is concerned.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The close proximity to my home.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No communication, and there was a lot of favoritism shown amongst employees. No chance for growth, or raises. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The best part of the work environment was that it was clean. There wasn’t any culture, my opinion as a machine operator never mattered, as a person I never mattered, this location literally treated you like a number and made sure you knew. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful, no organization things typically changed in the blink of an eye and I was held responsible for things (problems) that I didn’t create, and because I was “just” a machine operator I had NO VOICE.

Typical corporate culture that rewards those at the top or well connected. If you’re at the top positions or in sales, you will probably feel or be treated like a rock star. Otherwise, it’s a hard grind at the bottom or middle of the company where you collect another paycheck. Communication was very poor between different heads and you would get answers from different departments at times. Constant meetings were held but it obviously didn’t help enough at the time. Since the company is still growing, expect changing priorities daily that could leave certain people with the company holding their unfair share of responsibilities.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Poor management. Very unorganized. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Nothing repaired correctly. Safety precautions bypassed. Constantly told to just make machines run over looking operator safety. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very cliquish. If certain management didn’t like you, you were done. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
8 hour running hard bouncing from job to job.

I was part of the first outside sales group they hired, and we did a tremendous amount of learning together.  Our goal was to expand more toward hospitals from just independent labs.  Management was first rate, and would help with all and any questions a rep might have.  The hardest part of the job for me was the commute to different parts of NYC with my samples.  The culture was fantastic where we work hard and play hard.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The people who you work with .

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The speed they want you to work at.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Listen to the people above you. That’s the culture 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get there an hour before most people, get on the lift, and work until you are told you are good to go

I like the people I work with as long as they don't hire a toxic employee. Its not a bad job, if your looking for a job. There is no clear training to move up, and hardly any training to star. Its easy work. Each day the same, just more work one week and less work another.

Great company to work with that is continuously growing to take care of our clients why for cancer research.Leadership works from a bottom to top mentality to support the workforce as a whole.  The culture is what drives this company daily for we support diagnosis of cancer sooner rather than latter. Most staff understand this is a need for most families act  accordingly. 

VERY COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT with dwindling focus on high quality products. Lots of outsourcing to Chinese products proved to increase quality complaints. Sales goals were often unobtainable and appreciation was lacking. VP of sales had virtually no prescence to support growth or tools for success.
