Pros

Teambuilds, good team, schedule flexibility, and can do your own thing. Loved working here when I first started and I love doing lab work. One of the only labs that doesn't require a degree. I make a decent amount and was able to move up in the company but this doesn't happen with everyone.

Cons

Management changes every year, low starting pay, and the company is starting to micromanage everything causing burnout. Company is starting to only care about profit and not the wellbeing of the people that work here.

Pros

*Team builds if they schedule them *Ice cream twice a week *Lab experience *Coworkers

Cons

*Micromanagement *Hard to move up *They don't care about their employees like they used to. They're opening up a new clean room and I highly advise to anyone that's going to apply to avoid sterility assurance as much as possible. High turnover rate and you usually can't take a break until after your shift which you can be in the clean room for 8-12 hours. Lots of mandatory overtime and it's exhausting. Mostly standing in one place and need to be very aseptic or else you will ruin the test. There's also cameras everywhere watching you. It's easy to burnout in this department. Even if you try leaving you'll never truly get out of it.
