Good, stable job and income. Lots of opportunity for overtime! Always work to be done. I loved the people, you’re constantly learning. Company gave amazing benefits though.

Cons

Lots of micromanagement.. the stuff you work with (stool, bacteria) isn’t always appeasing. At some points, you feel like a robot.
