Pros

-Training is intensive, SOPs are enforced -Quality Control is expected and enforced, to lessen human error -Camaraderie between workers makes for a pleasant enough work culture (though that's on you as well) -Health insurance is good!

Cons

-Pressure from higher up (clients) leads to downstream pressures that can't always be handled given the resources the people who work in the lab have -Organization could use work -Moving up levels comes with what seemed to be an imbalance of work (expectations were much higher than the position itself would suggest)

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
