Pros

Learned a lot, about science, life, and how to grow a thick skin

Cons

Management doesn't care about you if you don't have your PhD. Extremely academic atmosphere and toxic to the core. Wasn't allowed to speak to anyone outside immediate department, physical and mental barriers existed because of untrusting atmosphere. Soul sucking in every way. Any positive reviews are definitely not real.

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.
