Pros

High staff turnover ensures you always get to meet new people . You'll lose plenty of weight from stress and exhaustion. If you apply then congratulations you've got an interview and the job.

Cons

Salaries are very low, pay progression is glacial, training is non-existent. This company makes money by over working staff and cutting corners wherever possible. The job is mind numbingly repetitive, the smells are foul and the verbal onslaught from a certain senior staff member will leave you wanting to swear and walk out. Upon applying the managers will do everything to put you off taking up the job, if you still apply thinking they're exaggerating then this is what you can expect. -You will be asked to sign a load of 'training sheets , though time won't be provided to read those sheets, also remember to sign for life insurance in case you die on the premises. -Next get to your station, choose wisely as this 1 square meter of paradise on earth is where you will be spending most of your twelve hours, i recommend a window view as opposed to the view of the concrete walls -Stretch your legs, forgetting to stretch prior to your twelve hour standing only stint can lead to serious muscular damage, but remember if you do hurt yourself then you've put the company at risk and so expect to be fired. -Next, choose your implements, but remember to get in quick as the good tweezers and knives get taken quickly. -now let the fun begin. Open the food bag , cut off a sample and bin the rest. If that sounds like fun then good news because this is exactly what you'll be doing repeatedly all day every day for the rest of your life. If your a man don't panic yet because as a man there are certain privileges. As a man congratulations you've been randomly selected to empty all the industrial bins, but be careful rotting food does have a tendency to make newbies gag. This is a terrible company and a truly unacceptable job. I know by looking on this page you're considering working here but just don't. You won't get any real lab experience , you will constantly be tired, stressed irritable and exhausted and by the time you get home you won't have the energy to apply elsewhere.
