Pros

You can experience first hand the bureaucracy of a large company, see which departments walk the talk on culture, people yada yada yada.

Cons

Tons, lack of opportunity of growth, upper echelons think they are smarter than the rest, you get forced into a comfort zone of all the benefits that before you realize you have lived your life and it's time to retire. Don't get complacent. Always have an exit strategy

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.
