Pros

Job security - due to the company's disinclination to pay for severance or redundancy, it is unlikely to lose your position

Cons

Low pay - not competitive, not proportional to the technical requirements of the job Toxic corporate culture - the company talks big about how it prioritises employee wellbeing and engagement, but refuses to address the principle issues. Low level management is left as responsible and culpable for problems they do not have the resources or permissions to address

Pros

The other lab techs and lab assistants are nice people.

Cons

I was prevented from taking my lunch break, as I was not provided with an access card. The working environment was also extremely dangerous and I genuinely feared for my life every minute I worked there.
