Pros
There's a lot of great people who work very hard. . . these people have no other choice and are enslaved in the HELL of Pace.
Cons
You are forced to use vacation time. Management forces good people to make unethical decisions regarding data by threatening your job. Online training is a waste of time and staff is pushed to do it on their own time. Everything is a number, including employees. 4 cent raises every other year if you are lucky. Micromanaged all the time and screamed at if something goes wrong and samples need to be reanalyzed. As a manager, if you tell them you will not report the data until the samples are rerun you are berated and get "a talking to" by the GM and QAO. Hopefully NELAC/DOH wisens up to their evil ways, if they look at the data I approved they will find a lot of red ink explaining everything.
