I can't speak for the non production side of the company but 12 hour shifts are tough. Yes you get 3 to 4 day weekends but in the grand scheme of things still doesn't mean much when you spend more than half of it recovering from your workload. Management is vague about what a person needs to do to be able to move up in the company. Turnover rates are high and it's difficult to get anyone to fill positions because of the hours to pay. In addition when working over night you don't get differential pay for your full shift. You only get 8 hours of holiday pay when you get the day off which means you either use pto to make up for the 4 hour difference or get shorted anytime a holiday falls on your work week - everything is catered more towards the administration side of biofire. In summary: if you want to work at biofire try to get into R&D, or an administrative/engineering job. They mostly complain about people being passive aggressive or being bored which is much better than being constantly burnt out and being forgotten by the company.
