Very controlled work atmosphere, extremely structured. Heavily regulated by the Food and Drug Admin. Training program can be difficult if you don't have a medical lab background. They say it is preferred; should be required. No leeway on how to perform a task. There is only one way; no deviation allowed. Tremendous amount of procedures that you need to learn that doesn't equate with compensation, which is somewhat low. You never work the same schedule; always changes at a moments notice.
