Pros

A lot of your coworkers and senior technicians will be some of the best people you meet. The work is pretty simple to wrap your head around and none of it ever feels too overwhelming no matter how hectic it can get (it can get hectic).

Cons

The upper management only look out for themselves and are never really interested in helping the lower level lab techs succeed because we are all dispensable. They even took away the requirement for a bachelor’s degree and when prompted that if people with bachelors degrees would get a raise for being overqualified their response was “no, that’s just how life works”
