Pros

good benefit, including both pay, health insurance and retirement

Cons

In this company, you just need to network to succeed, you don't need to perform or deliver anything tangible. the best asset you can have is lip service. as long as someone on the top likes you, you are on the right track. If you actually have some capabilities of doing something, go to some other company that will reward your talents.

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.
