Pros

Generally relaxed environment with easy-going management.

Cons

Implicit expectation you stay for overtime, as work is rarely done by the time the day ends. If you're not interested in working in a lab, this is not the place for you.

The other lab techs and lab assistants are nice people.

I was prevented from taking my lunch break, as I was not provided with an access card. The working environment was also extremely dangerous and I genuinely feared for my life every minute I worked there.
