Pros

Competitive salary, compensation, benefits, really exciting pipeline, most of the people I worked with were fantastic.

Cons

Management took advantage of so many people. It made me sick to see good people thrown under the bus or put in unfair positions or underpaid after being promised so much more or not getting credit for doing the work of 3 people. It became blood money to work there. I never regretted leaving for 1 minute.

Pros

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Cons

Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.
