Pros

Located close. Good benefits. flexible work schedule

Cons

Poor leadership, harrass non degreed people. Poor HR dept. Lack of vision. Create a poor working enviroment. After employment was told they would inform. me to when med. & other benefits ended. I found out when I tried to fill prescription. Total lack of respect. Would not recommend this non caring company to my worst enemy.

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.
