Pros
Twelve hour shifts mean more time off, but twelve hours is a killer for your body
In some ways, the organization is very good (some analytical instrumentation works great)
Cons
Lab mgmt hasn't a clue how to manage
Once you discover the weaknesses, they become magnified a thousand-fold
From 20-minute lunches and NO breaks, I don't think this is the place that a professional wants to spend their time ... life is just too short
Analysts are held accountable even when procedures are vaguely written to protect management interests - there is no interest in proactive training; just an interest in having a scapegoat for an issue
