Pros

Flexible work schedule; company car, gas and insurance is covered; good medical benefits; great vacation allowance; but none of these outweigh the downside

Cons

Micromanagement at all levels; tedious hours of required online courses about things like texting and emails; avg 1-2% raises per year; faulty and delayed data (i.e., sales goals are usually sent out 2 months into a quarter leaving only 1 month before the end of term); managers are treated like children from upper management, which means reps are treated like children by managers; NO STABLITITY (expect a layoff at least every other year)

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.
