Pros

- The job was simple enough to learn even without experience. - You can learn a lot with QA processing and how it works - good experience for you in the long run if you want to get into the industry somewhere else

Cons

- Not in season during the year the samples are low so the job can get boring fast and technicians are basically waiting for samples like hawks. - You learn fast that there is a hierarchy and some techs have first priority over others because they are related to higher ups and you get stuck doing what they don't want to do.

Pros

You’ll always be approved for overtime. You’ll love biohazard sterilization, it never ends, especially when the other labs autoclave goes down. Media in a bag. Telling your boss to shut up. This place will make you want to smoke after you quit smoking. Ordering drinks for the lab as a morale booster and having your boss order food with his drink (says he’ll pay you back, he doesn’t) Lots of impromptu dance parties. Work faster. 10 scoop coffee (iykyk)

Cons

Having to tell your boss to shut up. Breakfast sandwiches and donuts on Saturday, sounds great at first, but then you realize that’s where your bonus is going. Pizza parties (from Little Cesars) Must know military time or else you’ll freak out. Quarterly company “BBQs” if you’re on the night shift pack a lunch bc all you’ll be left w/ is stale bread
