Good work life balance in general (although it can vary from one department/team to another, and also one year to another based on projects)

Cons

Too much change recently and lay offs made the work environment feel unstable/unpleasant - Salary could be better considering different working aspects and market

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.
