Pros

Flexible schedule. You can come and go as you please for the most part, as long you are there roughly around your schedule time. Everyone is really cool and friendly.

Cons

VERY dirty and dangerous to workers. Majority of the workers including the actual supervisors treat asbestos as a joke and will literally take out asbestos sample in mid air without any caution. Miserable work environment, no one is happy to be there, there just there because they got stuck and were desperate for work experience. EMSL pay does differ from person to person, even though you do the same job. You can advance to other positions, it will most likely happen if you get along with the managers. In the end, is the need for experience worth bad work conditions, miserable atmosphere, low pay, expensive benefits, and above all, your health?

Pros

Opportunities to advance do occur for those who deserve it and work for it,. Company atmosphere allows for good team-building and relationships. If you are someone who enjoys taking on responsibilities and working consistantly you can have a healthy career at EMSL and the top performers can be promoted quickly. Company is very good at working with staff for schedules and lab interests where possible and is very fair to all employees.

Cons

Clients can be demanding and you will be faced with multiple priorities and deadlines. With experience and time here these are however much easier to deal with and certainly less stressful.

Pros

no pros to list for this company really. running joke was that Lady of Lourdes was gonna have an EMSL wing in 30 years due to all of the spills/contaminations

Cons

horrible work environment, medical benefits are a joke, no real chance for advancement, at least 3 asbestos contaminations while I worked there. lab was not properly filtered so the same thing they were running tests on was just coming back into the building.
