Pros

Apparently I need a 20 word minimum here but I can't think of anything to say that is positive so I'll just say that before ALS took over Envirotest, I had a good job.

Cons

I thought the experience at ETL Edmonton was unique but in reading some of the other reviews there seems to be a pattern. ALS identifies a good lab. ALS buys out the owners. ALS management imposes their flawed corporate strategies. ALS is then surprised to meet resistance from senior employees. ALS forces out those employees rather than try to learn from them. It apparently didn't just happen in Edmonton. It looks like it happened in Kelso, Prague, etc.

Pros

Easy way to get a few years of experience before you find something better.

Cons

Low pay, frequent threats of layoffs, and you are either being horribly overworked due to an insane sample load or forced to have your hours cut due to lack of business.
