Pros
Plenty of opportunities to learn different types of analytical instruments due to the high turn over rate of staff
Cons
-Management do not care about the staff, any issues you have, you may as well talk to a brick wall. Every time an issue is brought forward to them, you'll either get a "we can't do much about that" or "I'll try an do something about it" but the issue will be ongoing and when you question why nothing was done the response is "I don't remember talking to you about that, or I forgot" -The base pay rate is as low as they can pay you, with no chance of pay increase no matter how much time or effort you pour in to the workplace, any senior advancement roles are also low in pay -There is no proper training for any new staff, I've seen a lot of new staff come and go. Management will say that they were not good enough or didn't learn fast enough yet they didn't receive adequate training. Most of the new staff are graduates therefore have no prior lab experience, yet they will be blamed for not learning fast enough once they have been thrown into the deep end. -Extremely poor managament and unorganised, many of the tasks that the manager is responsible for was neglected leading to chaos and leaving the responsiblity of that to the staff to figure out on a daily basis. -Zero work/life balance, you'll be so burnout from working here that at the end of the day you won't want to do anything else
