Pros

Considerably good comp&ben package and great work/life balance

Cons

Maybe not for all the functions but HR function is full of unclear promotions, no peer equity and your fate is dependent on your manager's maturity. Your peers who have managers who do not have enough maturity or rewards understanding could end up "luckier" than you, does not matter how succesfull you are.

Pros

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Cons

Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.
