Pros

Benefits, pay and very diverse

Cons

Was told that my position would be getting cut 5 month into being hired. Company is getting restructured and are laying off majority of the employees. Upper management only cares about business and profit and want to expand business in the US while trying to cut cost without any explanation to the employees. No questions were being answered during the transformation process while people were told to work at their dead end jobs for “business continuity”. Company is constantly going through restructuring and this has been going on for over 10 years from what the long term employees have said. Lay offs have been happening for many years without any stability or sustainability of the new models. Feels like your walking around with a sword over your head cuz you never know when you’ll be told to go.

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.
