Vantaggi
Flexibility, location, Co-workers (not management or owner and family)
Svantaggi
No cost of living increases, no overtime but expected to work until job is done. Almost every week we required to work 70+ hours with no extra pay. No benefits for family, children, spouse. Very little communication in company between owner and workers. Very low pay for job being done. Management say that we will get bonuses and to cover overtime and then we do not receive them. They do a good job of covering themselves by not putting anything in writing. No advancement opportunity in this company. There used to be some perks, Team Building to Reno for 3 days and lunches once in awhile. No family activities at all. These have gone away and one can only assume that its because the company is going downhill. Being a small individually owned company the owner has a lot of family on the payroll. None of the family have scientific or technical degrees but seem to make a lot more than the scientists doing the work.
