Pros

People you work with in the lab are great to work with. You will learn how to balance mass amounts of work loads with few resources. Benefits are good.

Cons

During winter I didn't see the sun in 4 days.. 12 hour shifts are wretched along with the weekend work. Equipment is very poor and lab is extremely small without any Windows! Very depressing place to work if you were looking to work outdoors after college.

Pros

When I was able to finally put in my two weeks.

Cons

I could barely afford groceries on their salary. Terrible upper management, that sat around stroking their own egos and solving not one issue for the team. Upper management bullying. Was told for the first 6 months of working there that we were awful. Worked 12 hour days the first weeks in without one thank you. Gaslighting on a level I have never experienced. Zero opportunity for advancement. Would tell us no overtime for months, then pull us in the office and ask why we were not utilizing all the overtime we were allowed to use.
