Pros

Great place to learn about industry standards if you're just starting out. Very difficult to get fired unless you do something reprehensible.

Cons

There's not a lot of diversity the higher up you go. A lot goes under the radar, you pick up the slack of coworkers that aren't doing their jobs and even if you bring it up to management, nothing is done about it. A lot of misogyny from older male managers and unfortunately women as well.

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.
