Pros

Good experience for those just starting their career, although that varies by department and experience desired.

Cons

Toxic, unappreciative, and in some cases, manipulative management. Poor benefits and compensation. Unrealistic expectations, expecting the same result with a fraction of the budget.

Pros

Not the worst place to start work

Cons

The management tends to do sudden, massive layoffs frequently. They do not care about the employees' hard work. They never extend their contracts. When they get a low quantity of samples for 2-3 weeks, they fire their staff instantly to save the last penny and then again hire when the sample flow is strong. That is why we can see dozens of job postings for Activation Laboratories on Indeed almost every day. They hire and fire every week. Here, we can only earn about 2500 CAD per month, which is very low. Senior lab techs always chat at their desks while they assign all workloads to new lab techs.
