Pros

Experience and entry level positions to get you started in the lab setting.

Cons

Low pay, poor HR communications and very little upward mobility unless you swing a manager position. They only care about the big locations at NJ and NY. If you are in the small branch lab, you do not exist

Pros

-Liked my coworkers a lot. We were a small office so it was very close knit. -Enjoyed working with the local clients, really nice people. -Acquired a lot of knowledge about mold & gave me new perspective on being able to trust how clean different environments can and should be.

Cons

-Was told to analyze as much as I possibly could in a work day. -Serious back and neck issues from sitting upright and still looking in a microscope all day. -Only getting a 30min lunch break felt criminal for the amount of concentration and horsepower it took to complete daily workload. -Felt guilty for taking 15 min breaks because I did not want to get behind and have to stay late to make sure workload was complete enough to make the next work day bearable. -Being a small lab with 2 analysts and getting overflow from a way larger lab like Orlando was very stressful to maintain without feeling burnt out. -Corporate didn't seem to care too much and had shady practices that rubbed me the wrong way.

Pros

They give you a chance to promote yourself if you understand what needs to be done. Some really fine people over there.

Cons

The Canadian labs were not well coordinated when I was there. Disconnection between head-office and individual Canadian labs. Some petty back-stabbing done by ladder climbers.
