Pros

I really cannot think of any to be honest

Cons

Long hours, terrible morale, decisions made at top with little to no thought, extremely under staffed, and management has no clue about North American market. Germany decides everything and doesn’t let the US do anything for themselves. Constant budget cuts, ridiculous processes, and changes made without asking the people they will impact!!!!

Pros

The job is not too difficult. You mainly work on your own, Pay and benefits are outstanding.

Cons

12 hour shifts. Only one tech per shift so vacations can be a bit dicey. Support from peers is low and there is a lot of back biting in the lab. Sometimes they seem to be lookng for a scapegoat.
