Pros

Decent pay and benefits, lots of opportunities to earn overtime. Can come to work on weekends still under the influence of alcohol and no one minds, in fact they laugh about it.

Cons

They promise you the world but never deliver, workplace bullying is rife, the union is useless, management will harrass you if you say no to weekend overtime. Poor quality instruments with outdated technology and Qc is rubbish. Poor quality parts used in production.

Pros

Great people in field and customer facing positions. Vast knowledge base of applications and instrumentation.

Cons

Very poor executive leadership- don't want to spend money on marketing, promotion of instrumentation, or relevant customer applications. Most do not know industry. Wonder why sales are decreasing.
