Great for experience - Research Technician BTS Research Employee Review

Great company to grow and learn at a fast pace. One can really pick up a multitude of skills/technique on a wide variety of animals from mice to NHP. Throughout the years, I have had the chance to work along some phenomenal co-workers. There is plenty of work and the opportunity to develop your skillset is there it is up to one if they want to grow or stall. It also allows you to understand the importance of animal research. It also gives you access to be part of the tremendous work that goes behind a study from writing the protocol, ordering animals, ordering supplies, setting up the study binder's/study schedule, working side by side with the client, etc. If one demonstrates they are up for the challenge BTS Research will stimulate your career direction with all the tools necessary to succeed.

Not everyone that is hired is built for a CRO type of work, so unfortunately many come and go. This is not always a reflection of the company but more the individual that got hired that was not up for tasks. The amount of work and pace is not for everyone.

Opportunity for overtime, husbandry experience, versatile animal experiences, my supervisor during this time was amazing and showed genuine care about their employees, learned so much

Lab work never stops, request days off very far in advance, and even then some of it wasn't honored well. This job is not for the faint of heart, research is hard to work in if you aren't comfortable with euthanasia
