Pros

The knowledge you gain of certain disease states is very interesting and beneficial. Establishing relationships with quality sales professionals and customers is a wonderful experience. Not having to pay for a car, gas, car insurance or repairs is a definite plus.

Cons

They treat us as if we do not have a brain. We are not appreciated as sales professionals. No one seems to know how incentives and goals are determined yet the rank you based on this bogus information.

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.
