"As a grad student, my review is based mostly on my supervisor. The school itself is beautiful, and a gem nestled in the piedmont of N.C., which has the resources to make you feel appreciated while maintaining the 'small-school' feel."

Wake Forest University Employee

"Currently I'm working remotely for this employer, but just prior to my remote experience, I was actually on-site and working for them. I found that this position was really amazing in respect to the above-my-qualifications responsibilities given to me, but they were unable to provide adequate resources and technology (I have to work remotely from a $200 hp laptop) that could have helped me perform even better."

"Paint you into a corner and burn you til you are crispy"

What do you like about working at Wake Forest University?

"Family atmosphere until push comes to shove. They do not like older workers. They can hire someone younger and less schooled-not wise for less money and more respect to them. Every one even approaching 40 was shown the door"

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Act sweet and nice. Being dumb as a stick horse helps. I really loved my job not the MD management. I gave them the very best honest data possible. Correlation Coefficients at 0.999 or better for vitamin values. No one in the industry could beat those values."

What don't you like about working at Wake Forest University?

"Gird your loins in research. These folks hit below the belt to get rid of top quality people that squeal on their inadequacies. What happens in research stays in research is their battle cry."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Appreciate an honest opinion that will save you time and money down the road. Younger means less experience and more mistakes. Implementing new and more stringent Health and Safety Regulations are sometimes costly and time consuming. Sorry I did not finish those samples on time. I was the only one to achieve total safety on the floor."
