Pros

Overall, I have experienced great management personally. The company and the position has provided me a great work life balance. They have also provided tuition reimbursement so that I could pursue a graduate education. The sales training was thorough and continues to improve with new sales models. The compensation has been fair in terms of salary, though bonuses have declined over the last several years.

Cons

The company does not provide enough pathways for development. It was heavily focused on FLM development but does not provide enough alternatives for other areas or opportunities to do rotations. Though I have personally experienced good management I have seen more than my share of incompetent management in other territories.

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.
