Pros

They'll pay you what you work for. In my department, there's unlimited overtime.

Cons

In life toxicology (also known as animal operations) is a horribly managed department. Pay is not sufficient for the amount or quality of work we do. They require you to work 4 out of every 12 weekends, and 4 holidays a year. There is no work/life balance. Employee turnover is very high. Benefits aren't great. The job is physically demanding, and after doing it for a while, my body is starting to show wear. There's limited opportunity for growth in the department.

Pros

It has taught me what I do not want in an employer It gave me experience for way better opportunities It made me realize that being a good worker doesn’t always mean being rewarded

Cons

When injured from being overworked and exhausted , they treated me like trash When compassion fatigue hit— they judged and questioned whether I belonged there rather than understood People make up rumors about you even if you didn’t do anything (it’s like a catty high school in there) Having one bad day constitutes you getting pulled in the office to be scolded If you’re a good worker, and you get your stuff done efficiently, they stuff you with more work Many individuals treat the animals like trash and are covered up by management if they are the “favorites” Most of the trainers there are absolutely catty people and will talk behind your back if you’re “too slow” or “not learning fast enough”
