Pros

Enjoyed working at Perkin Elmer. Everyone was really nice and the lab offered plenty of oppurtunities for cross-training and skills development.

Cons

Position can get repetitive so following cross-training ideas recommended. Completing 12 hour night shifts has negative impact on social life outside of work.
