Great STEM-Bio starter job; not great for long-term.
Pros
The location is relatively close to downtown and Midtown Oklahoma City. The team is relatively tight-knit usually, and sometimes you get paid to drive to client locations to pick up samples.
Cons
The schedule is almost entirely up to the time of day clients send samples and how much they send. Most days, if you "opened" the lab at 7:30am and a client called for a sample pickup at 4:15pm, you would still be there to prep and enrich the samples and cleanup until close to 6 or 7pm. Planning for after-work activities is nearly impossible if you work in Prep. Employees only qualify for yearly raises if they have worked at least 12 months by December of the year evaluated. If you start on January 10th, 2020, you will be ineligible for a yearly raise until December 2021.
