Pros

- Your coworkers are all friendly, and knowledgeable. No ones out to get you, just make sure you focus on work. -always work to do, day goes by quickly (theres a catch, which will be in the cons) -if youre a new graduate or a recent immigrant, this place will give you a chance and train you

Cons

-low wage -management is new, so theyre still getting used to what to expect from that lab, and may have unrealistic expectations from their employees -the catch about the day going by fast is... before you know it, you might be asked to do overtime! for me thats a con -might not be much room for moving up on the ladder. i think theyre efforts at employee retention have really dropped off so i believe the turnover rate for lab techs increased. unless you come qualified as a chemist then in which case theyll need you but at that point just go somewhere that pays more.

Pros

I have been at AGAT for over 2 years now and have seen the pros and cons of this workplace. In my experience AGAT Laboratories commends hard work and rewards success in the workplace. I have had the pleasure of working with the team and getting to know the CEO as she takes part in every aspect of the business. I think the leadership is fabulous and see countless improvements to this company that will lead to future success! On a specific note for working in Ontario sales, there is a bit of a seasonal cycle with winter being slower than other months. I like the fast paced seasons and then having a "planning" season where you can review your success, map a new sales plan and catch up on any internal projects you would like to support.

Cons

All companies have some internal programs that are outdated. This does not bother me because I see AGAT adopting new programs and updating our process to improve the user experience for all employees. I also believe you create your own environment. I have been part of seeing change happen in this company and view "cons" as opportunities to contribute to positive improvement!
