Advanced Testing Laboratory Review

Great place to work and they care about their people!

Clean, quiet. The friendly staff got my wife in and out quickly. Fallowing all safety guidelines.

The worst company I have ever worked for. They don't care about how hard you work or how great you are at your job. If you go to management with a concern for the group, they treat you like the peon they see you as. They pay the bare minimum because they just don't care about anything but making a profit for themselves. I made more money waiting tables than at my so called "career" at ATL. They are so desperate for new hires that they will literally hire anyone. It's degrading to know that I worked my ass off for my chemistry degree and have years of experience under my belt, just to find out I'm making the same amount of money (or less) than the person next to me who doesn't even know what the different types of glassware are, let alone basic chemistry and instrumentation. If you want quality work, hire AND PAY quality workers. I wish I would have done my research before accepting my position here, worst career move I have made thus far.

Greg Neal and Co., run this company intelligently and should be given more credit for the role they play in offering young scientists an opportunity to get their feet wet in the quality control/laboratory science industry. I certainly learned a lot in my time here.

Avoid employment here at all costs. Pay starts close to 16/h and the hours can be horrid depending on the lab you're in, since employment there is always a revolving door, you'll be forced to stay longer to cover those gaps. HR and recruiters make close to six figures, for simply always hiring and firing people. Benefits kick in after 3 months and the 401k plan doesn't start until A YEAR, after your start date, simply because they don't expect you to be there that long. Coworkers are great though, but great in a sense everyones suffering, but you're doing it together.

A truly awful experience. Avoid at all costs. This goes back to 2012, but I figured I d give this company a much-needed and overdue review. I quit another job at a major company in the biotech industry to take a position with ATL. There was an opening I was really excited about and I interviewed for it.however, the job I filled was not the position for which i interviewed. They filled that, but gave me an offer on another position in the same company, but it was not a position I wanted, nor was I qualified. There was no training whatsoever and I was rushed into an obviously frantic situation to serve as temporary filler. The entire affair was a joyless experience, a collossal waste of my time and the pay was abysmal. Had I known how bad it would be, I never would ve explored the option. I managed to squeeze some unemployment out of them though and that felt terrific! I love my career now and would highly advice everyone to avoid temp/staffing agencies at all cost. Run. They do not care about you.

I can't say enough how rewarding it is everyday to know I am part of something bigger- part of a community full of intelligent, driven, innovative colleagues, doing amazing work. Great place to work! Great benefits!

Unethical company that doesn t care about its employees. I was the most tenured person in my area, and I was told by management I was being laid off in 12 weeks due to budgeting. They later accidentally admitted in a phone conversation that our client recommended I be let go because of low performance, and the clients input aided in the decision to select me as the person getting laid off (again, the most tenured person in the position). ATL breeched my contract by allowing client input to play a role in the firing of an employee. When I confronted them about this and asked for the details of my termination in writing, they realized they messed up by telling me the illegal truth behind my termination and ignored me. My manager stopped responding to my emails, and HR refused to send me anything in writing and would only offer to call me on the phone to try and cover their tracks. On the Friday of the week when I started asking hard questions, my employee login information was deactivated and instead of having my job for a couple more weeks, I was let go that day. During a global pandemic, nonetheless. Their reasoning was because I had gone to management in the past expressing concerns about some disorganization in the company, and they didn t want anyone working for them who wasn t happy there. Instead of taking employee input into consideration and making positive changes based on that input, ATL saw me as a complainer who they should get rid of. Not only that, but they breeched our contract by allowing the client to have a say in my employment. They are unethical cowards with terrible disorganization and poor, poor leadership. Coworkers were great, tho!

Love working here! Great entry level positions for young scientists
