      Pros

      Good people who are supportive locally. Benefits good.

      Cons

      Too many to list. Mostly exploitative and discounting. Turnover rate is extremely high even at upper management levels. The contractor to employee ration is 10 to 1, yet company projects the image in communications and advertisements as caring about the employees which is false. Contractors are employeed to make it easy to end projects without any explanations. Recent layoff of employee and then replacing with contractors who are incompetent. Housing employees in areas where OSHA is violate and providing substandard levels of housing for employees, yet providing the latest in technological toys to upper management. And the beat goes on!!!!

      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.
