Pros

Interesting and varied chemistry. Opportunity to use and learn many chemistry techniques, reactions and equipment

Cons

Terrible salary. 50k for honours, 60k for PhD. Unreasonable expectations, with compulsory unpaid overtime and no perks to job. Questionable safety and general practices. Narcissistic owner which will belittle, gaslight, and go looking things to complain about if you get on their bad side. Often takes out his frustrations on staff, and will make a spectacle out of small mistakes, sometimes as far as publicly shaming individuals.

Pros

You will learn how to survive being micromanaged on a daily basis. Colleagues are lovely, and trying their best, you can learn a lot from them. Unique organic synthesis work. and instrumentation.

Cons

Management is dreadful. The reviews you see here are accurate - every day is a challenge because you never know what mood the boss will be in. If it's a bad one, avoid him at all costs and pray he has meetings all day. The main lab is horrible, dark, dirty, reeks of the chemicals being stored. Workplace procedures in general are extremely dated. The lab chemical management software is only used to pin blame on people, and you will find yourself looking for products that don't exist or should have been thrown out years ago.

Pros

Interesting work with good facilities

Cons

Again all previous comments are true which result in a very sad and horrible working environment. Excessive hours without pay or reward or recognition, and this is expected. Lots of psychological mind games used against the employees.
