Pros

Opportunity to create clean, green value for industry.

Cons

HR and management do not support even their best employees. Went to HR to request reasonable accommodations during a volenteer severance package offer. Was terminated for whistleblowing on my supervisor, the day I left for a 3 week vacation, with no warning at all. My personal reference library was put up for grabs, left-overs trashed! I was a model employee for 32 years. They still make millions on my inventions and products I developed from them. My colleagues were forbidden to contact, or give me reference. Thus, blacklisted me to any other opportunities in my field. Retaliation for abuse is illegal. This was my reward.

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.
