Pros

Nice coworkers Guaranteed +40 hrs Flexible (to an extent)

Cons

Lack of supervision- supervisors leave immediately, leaving lab technicians and microbiologists understaffed. (all you need is a positive attitude per mgmt) Supervisors don't follow laboratory standards (no drinks in lab, wear lab coats at all time) 11am-7:30 is not accurate, it's 11am-10pm Low Pay No opportunities to advance
