Pros

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Cons

Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.

Pros

Good company to gain knowledge of cell processing..staying long term NO.

Cons

Work life Balance...Definite favoritism. QA sole job is to watch everything you do and open investigation. It's like there cops filling ticket quotas. Management and supervisor dont Communicate. And if you make mistake even if it isnt your fault you get benched from processing. No remediation or possible retrainin just bench until they say you can process again. Clean room modules are small and your literally on top of each other trying to work. Equipment is always broken or not enough to go around. And long hours inside the modules.
