Pros

I had a job-share, so I had good work/life balance, great benefits and training. I worked with a team that were great.

Cons

The industry is changing, and layoffs are an everyday reality. Really no flexibility in the type of sales call you make, you pretty much have to follow a script. A "Big Brother" feel.

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.
