Pros
Great lunch breaks to de-stress. Many people are friendly. The break rooms are good gathering places full of community advice on the walls. The company parties are nice and for holidays you get a bonus card.
Cons
Overworked, underpaid. $12 an hour for a college graduate. Some supervisors are not friendly, and lab leads can walk on water while making simple lab techs adhere to unfriendly rules. Ex. taking constant smoking breaks while lab techs stay in the lab and work. unfair workload. Since they don't hire help, expect to take out trash, mop the floors, sweep, clean and wash dishes and do other house chores. You wont get medical benefits until you have been there a year, but you work around knives, autoclave machines and other biolevel 2 hazards....expect to work through your breaks also, and if you leave on time and do not overtime, people give you dirty looks
