Pros

The when I was working there was very good. The products were above average. The training was hard but comprehensive. The compensation package was excellent.

Cons

I had a District Manager that had never sold anything in his life. He was from the East Coast and did not know anything about how Mid Western people interact. Very difficult to do a drive with.

Pros

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Cons

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.
