Pluspunten
Great compensation and yearly bonuses. Friendly atmosphere with brilliant employees. Fun holiday events to keep up morale. Excellent communication and cooperation amongst teams at company's satellites (Cyvex/NUTrition, Inconn, Wisconsin Specialty Protein). Stability - this company has been around for over a century and has been growing rapidly over the last decade into a diverse corporation compared to the fishing company it started out as.
Minpunten
Managment runs the research satellites like businesses rather than scientific labs. Profitability and time from bench to market is more important than exploring alternative formulations and methods to ensure the healthiest and most effective product goes to market. Safety is a low priority. One facility was originally drafted to have power supplies in the center of the pilot lab, wires were run, but outlets and breakers were never installed. Lab users had extension cords running all across the floor as a result of unfinished construction. Chemical cabinet ventilation system was never installed and explosively reactive chemicals were stored on the same shelf in the same cabinet. Nitric and sulfuric acids right next to toluene, and strong oxidizers next to fuels such as kerosene.
