start with reorganizations of deparments

Cons

- psicological pressure e.g. mobbing seems to be part of company values and behaivours. - long stayed people often are useless -in generally the level of professionality is not so high as could be expected, but the arrogance and never accept own mistakes or errors are out of mesure -hr people are not too skilled and most worried about their promotions duing powerpoint presentation -many people specially managers change the position to higher or to same level every 1.5 -2 years. What could be achived for the company during this short time?

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.
