Pros

Free food, flexibility from higher management, peaceful work environment (if you ignore everyone)

Cons

Repetitive work, high school-like work environment. You won鈥檛 be learning anything new besides in your training, so if you like a challenge, you鈥檒l realize the only challenge you鈥檒l face are trying not to call out and keeping your patience with other workers. You won鈥檛 really be using the knowledge your degree gave you.

Pros

They cater your meal so you鈥檒l save lots of free time and money saved on food planning and prep. Also generally laid back because everybody hates their job so nobody really cares if you outwardly hate your life while there.

Cons

Brainless, repetitive work, you basically babysit a machine operating. For me the worst part was the people and the management, it is so many young kids who it seems like it鈥檚 their first job ever so they don鈥檛 know how to behave in a professional setting. I was 25 and I felt ancient in the lab. It doesn鈥檛 matter how much experience you have, you will be doing something that requires so knowledge of biology. A BS shouldn鈥檛 be required for the covid lab. Most importantly, they promoted the most toxic person in the whole lab to manager, the only person in the room without a BS only got promoted through toxic nature, picking out person after person to turn the group against and then soon get them fired. It was like an angry mob every week turning on one person at a time!! One coworker went around to every girl standing within inches of us, so far within our personal space and putting his arms around us, telling us that he鈥檚 looking for a woman to dominate him. Management thought this was funny when I spoke up about it, even though it was plainly obvious and gross. I鈥檝e barely scratched the surface, I really feel bad for the few friends I still have working there.
