Pros

The campus is gorgeous, few competent people still remain, but for how long ?

Cons

No management vision, obsessed by offshoring competent people job to India and short term savings. The quality is gone, I do not even know how we make it to regulation filing. The pipeline is far worst than what people think.

Pros

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Cons

Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.
