Pros

The salary is decent. That's about it.

Cons

This is a crime lab that prioritizes quantity over quality. Management take shortcuts and engage in bad laboratory practices. Trainees get rushed through training and end up making mistakes. They then waste time and resources fixing those mistakes. Laboratory space is crowded and dirty. Analysts are overworked. Management ignore advise from experienced analysts on how to improve. Management then use more quick-fix schemes in an attempt to increase output but end up making matters worse.

Emphasis on personal and professional development with adequate continuing education/training funding and work/life balance.

Currently undergoing a multi-year project redoing the compensation-based performance evaluation process meaning annual raises will be impacted for years to come.
