      Pros

      Dress code is jeans and T shirt. Can listen (only 1 earbud allowed) to music while doing lab work. Flexible schedule.

      Cons

      I've observed a concerning employee turnover rate recently. This calendar year, we have lost tens of dissatisfied employees, totaling over 200 years of PPD experience (just in the Richmond ICD). Work/life balance is gritty due to unrealistic expectations. Employees are not promoted or given raises based on merit. The icing on the cake is the retirement of long time director and replacing the position via inexperienced outside hiring rather than promoting an experienced internal candidate.

      Pros

      Benefits, gym, independence, accountability, great management, great location, parking deck, great people, great local employer, not micromanaged, recognition.

      Cons

      Training wasn't the greatest or most in depth. Heavy work load. I work a lot from home in the evenings and weekends. Short turn around times for tasks sometimes.

      Pros

      good if you want to work in the pharmaceutical world, however they hire based on the "good ole boy" system, where you need to know someone inside, or be "appealing" as a woman, to be hired. Very much not a fun place to work

      Cons

      see the pros.....they don't really care about their employees, they'll send around emails once a month from the CEO gloating about how much money the company made that month, versus how little you make..
