Pros

Good learning experience with all things chemistry related. You will learn a ton of new methods while working in the lab.

Cons

Work life balance is non existent. Claim to have 7 paid holidays but will still schedule you without asking on Christmas. They also expect you to give up every weekend to be in the lab. Hr is non existent neither is any it or direction.

Pros

Plenty of work, decent benefits

Cons

Management can get in the way of things and their is also constant shifting. Also, management has to unfortunately wear a lot of hats which gets in the way of adequate training for new hires and can sometimes lead to issues.
