"I started work with CRL in 2016. It’s a very fast-paced work environment that offers decent opportunities for new grads. There isn’t a lot of career development and I wish they worked on creating a better work-life balance. They did do a good job of compensation and there is alway OT available."

"The Company is good overall. They do make an attempt to balance when a person works versus when they need to go through their life. So the work-life balance is a common culture at the company. However, the company is at a midpoint from doing the task the way they always have done them or developing systems to better meet the customer's and investors' needs of faster higher quality service."
