Pros

Incredible experience to learn COPIOUS amounts of methods & procedures in a chem lab. You will work tirelessly to analyze all of the samples and contracts that the company takes on. Friendships are easily formed when it feels as if you're being hazed by upper management and their workloads. This is a wonderful stepping stone job. Current employment stated they selected me for an interview because of my employment with SGS.

Cons

This is a job where you will indefinitely burn the wick at both ends! The employment game will very quickly become "How many hours can you work in a week?". Low paying hourly position = Work as much overtime to make more money. My PR was 115hr/pay period when I began looking for other employment opportunities. Daily exposure to sunlight will be limited to only during the drive to work. Enjoy and good luck!!
