Pros
If you befriend the lab manager then she will move you quickly to day shift. Every Day is a new adventure! As the only ununionized department, you come in and the terms of your employement might have drastically changed with no input or communication. If you have absolutely nothing going on in your life and want to hit fat OT checks then this is the spot for you! If you have any other commitments, especially those that happen when the sun is out, I would reconsider.
Cons
Otherwise, you will get put into eternal night: 7p-7a night shift, 48-72hrs a week, half of your days off you are not paid to be on call but you are on call. The manager will exclusively communicate with you by writing demands on a white board. They want to treat you like a manual laborer but expect you to have a college degree! You will be exposed to mutagenics and breathe cotton particulate every day. What is expected of you will change every week and you dont have any input into that.
