Pros

Really can't think of any.

Cons

Bad management who think it's acceptable to bully and patronise staff. Lack of training - hire people from non-scientific backgrounds and expect them to do scientific jobs without sufficient training. Wages do not reflect what is expected of staff. Some junior members of staff were lovely but treated abysmally by senior staff. Worst place I have ever worked by a mile and it was a massive relief to leave.

Pros

Average pay for the area. Very good health benefits (low premium) and okay work life balance. Coworkers fairly chill with the one or two toxic person. Opportunities to cross train and learn new skills if that is your desire.

Cons

Workload uneven between shifts depending on shifting prioritizations on batches. Dead end, no route for career advancement. Cross training is a stopgap measure to cover for department personnel shortages.
