Pros
Most of the employees are honest, hard-working people. The employees have great working relationships mostly because of the intense bond formed in the midst of such disaster. It's a great job to build your resume and get very impressive sounding things on it like Gas Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry.
Cons
Pay is very low here compared with other area labs. Once you're hired, a standard annual raise is 2%. Bonuses are dependent on sales forecasts that are based on zero factual evidence and unrealistic growth expectations for a small company. The leadership (CEO) of the company needs to retire and let competent people run the business. Her lack of business sense and instability leave people scared for their jobs. Expressing opinions is totally against the rules (unless they agree with the CEO). There have been many hugely expensive attempts at new markets that have all failed miserably due to a lack of understanding about the environmental industry. If you are currently out of work and have no money, work there and feed your kids. Otherwise, keep looking.
