      Pros

      Work life balance seems to be good in most lab roles. Hours are flexibly 8:30-4:30. Reasonable amounts of time to get work done and training is thorough. Good benefits (PTO, health insurance, etc.) offsets burden of mediocre pay.

      Cons

      Opportunities for growth (in terms of both responsibility and promotion, ergo pay increase) seem to be gatekept in more advanced lab roles. Unfortunately all roles are important, but not all roles are given equal levels of opportunity for growth.

      Pros

      Benefits, such as PTO and health, are fantastic.

      Cons

      A pro and a con are there are rarely set ways to do things. You can pave your own way, but others could be paving a way to the same destination and just creating more paths when it would be better to work together.

      Thank you for your thoughtful review! We love that you feel the autonomy to pave your own way here, and recognize that also can present its own challenge with duplicating efforts.
