      Pros

      Clean and sanitary work place

      Cons

      All I can say about this company is abuse, abuse and abuse. Both animals and employees. They are racist and there is no respect in the works environment. They treat you like a machine and worse like a garbage. Very low salaries and huge amount of work load. The worst section is toxicology with a very brutal supervision and managment.
