Business Outlook

Pros

The King County Environmental Lab is a wonderful place to work, the people are all top notch to work with and you are able to have a successful career with good pay.

Cons

Entry into the labs in the sense of getting a full-time permanent job is extremely difficult. And can only be accomplished if someone is retiring. Employee retention is extremely high.
