Business outlook
Pros
Large and mostly friendly team
Close to a train station
Good initial support, but dwindles without pressure on management, often little time for training and additional roles.
Some apprenticeships available
Cons
Work load is never below "high" and is often downright chaotic, the lab is seemingly constantly playing catch up and it's difficult to know why, when everyone works 12 hours shifts and occasional weekends.
Pay is low, no real benefits aside from a savings scheme.
Staff turnover is high
Staff mentality can be somewhat selfish, everything is someone else's fault.
The company seems to be constantly chasing money and clients, but monthly results are always average/poor.
