Really benefits and the pay

Cons

huge difference between hourly and salary employee's treatment. There is no training department to follow up with. there is a communication breakdown between employee and senior management. The hours can be long for manufacturing 12 hour shifts.

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.
