It's a Job

Pros

Understaffing to pinch pennies leads to opportunities for overtime. Reasonably clean, a fairly safe environment. It's really all about your co-workers and the bond that develops when sharing a stressful environment.

Cons

Management chasing every penny by selling every opportunity to bring a job in, regardless of how short-staffed or under-resourced we are, while promising questionable deadlines. A pathological inability to say no to a customer, regardless of the downstream effects it had on the rest of the staff.

People are not that important

Pros

If you like laboratory work you will be exposed to many types of tests and materials which makes a great learning experience. Helping customers is also a good experience.

Cons

Executive management is very clear that it cares mostly about how many dollars it can squeeze out of the operations so that it looks good to investors. People are not a priority and because of that a lot of highly qualified staff have left. The company "grows" by buying smaller established labs, and then brags by marketing blitz how much it has grown. It is slow to invest funds into people or equipment in its acquired companies. Reviews are just a routine and raises are at or below inflation, if any.

Pros

Good technicians, great variety of work, great place to practice a trade and learn from lots of experts.

Cons

Work ebbs and flows, management is a joke, no sense of direction, underplayed no matter how hard you work.
