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

Great bosses, structured support from corporate office, workload is manageable compared to other labs I’ve worked for, overall culture is good

Cons

Benefits and pay aren’t great, particularly the benefits, they’re a little pricey and outside of preventative care, don’t cover enough imho, 401k is very low to where it’s almost nonexistent
