Pros

This Company have a true committment with the people development, all bossses have a KPI on this, and this is taken very seriously. Opportunities are huge, sometimes there are no people to cover positions

Cons

The work style is very authoritarian, many directors are tyranic-style, with a few exceptions. SO you must have to have the patient of Gandhi, if you can´t manage acid and sarcastic feedback this is not for you. Thats the price to pay to ascend through the corporate ladder.

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.
