Good place to start out for entry-level experience.

Pros

Great place to get experience in many analytical chemistry methods, if you are willing to stick around for at least five years. I was told by a supervisor that instead of moving up, you move laterally, meaning that you have the opportunity to move to different departments to learn new skills, which can be considered a plus for padding the resume.

Cons

Not much room for advancement. The pay and benefits are pretty lousy, although the company will tell you that they are typical with the industry standards. Employees are expected to work many long hours during the Summer and through Fall, but come Winter, they get laid off, and have to supplement the income with unemployment compensation.

Vulture corporation that takes over and destroys private labs

Pros

Apparently I need a 20 word minimum here but I can't think of anything to say that is positive so I'll just say that before ALS took over Envirotest, I had a good job.

Cons

I thought the experience at ETL Edmonton was unique but in reading some of the other reviews there seems to be a pattern. ALS identifies a good lab. ALS buys out the owners. ALS management imposes their flawed corporate strategies. ALS is then surprised to meet resistance from senior employees. ALS forces out those employees rather than try to learn from them. It apparently didn't just happen in Edmonton. It looks like it happened in Kelso, Prague, etc.
