Pros

There are no pros, your better off working at a fast food place.

Cons

Owners and managers do not care about employees. One of the colleges ended their co-op program with Actlabs because the students got lead poisoning and were not given the proper safety equipment. One of my coworkers had a serious head injury at the workplace due to unsafe working conditions. The company tried to keep it under the rug but were unable because an ambulance was called. Ministry of Health and safety was finally called due to several repeated violations. Senior staff harass and abuse new employees who are all kids fresh out of college or new immigrants who don't know any better. Owners and managers will try to deny your two week vacation even though it is illegal to due so.

Pros

Not the worst place to start work

Cons

The management tends to do sudden, massive layoffs frequently. They do not care about the employees' hard work. They never extend their contracts. When they get a low quantity of samples for 2-3 weeks, they fire their staff instantly to save the last penny and then again hire when the sample flow is strong. That is why we can see dozens of job postings for Activation Laboratories on Indeed almost every day. They hire and fire every week. Here, we can only earn about 2500 CAD per month, which is very low. Senior lab techs always chat at their desks while they assign all workloads to new lab techs.
