Pluspunten

Base salary is good. Health benefits and other benefits are top notch. Time off and some day-to-day flexibility is available. On going training and education is better than most.

Minpunten

1) Computers, software and other necessary office tools are old, unreliable, and not user-friendly. 2) Nearly all "objective" metrics used to measure one's performance are not within one's ability to impact - uncontrollables 3) First-line managers play favorites and participate in "forced-attrition" meaning if you are not a favorite, the FLM's will micromanage and harass someone to death in hopes of getting them to quit so the company can avoid paying severance or unemployment. 4) Commission pay plan and formula for setting the sales goals are extraordinarily complex, impossible to explain, appear to be completely subjective, and change nearly every quarter thus making it impossible to predict or plan ahead. 5) Most recently, quarterly sales goals were set so completely far from reach only 10% of sales reps achieved 100% in comparison to 50-60% of sales people who made it in every other quarter I've seen for the past 6 years!!! 6) Lastly, this entire industry is in a downward spiral and things are only getting worse.

Pluspunten

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Minpunten

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.
