Employees at Union Laboratories value the learning opportunities available, allowing them to gain practical experience and apply knowledge from university. They also appreciate the supportive colleagues in the small organisation, without gossip or jealousy. The flexibility in work schedules, with flexi-time and free time while waiting for analyses, is another positive aspect.
However, there are some potential challenges, such as limited opportunities for career progression and difficulty moving to other industries after working at the commercial lab. Additionally, some employees feel that management could be improved, with slow responses to company matters, outdated systems, and a lack of senior guidance. Compensation is also an area that could be better, with low salaries, inconsistent bonuses and increments, and basic salary slips.
