Pros

Opportunities to progress and freedom given to determine career path. Any role is dependent on your boss. I generally had good ones who cared about my development

Cons

A lot of time and effort goes into performance reviews that seem somewhat decided before they start

Pros

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Cons

Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.
