Pros
Good for fresh graduates to expose to testing and analysis.
Cons
However, management may expect you to handle tasks without adequate training. You’ll get hands-on experience with the analysis, but working with instruments requires longer hours. The salary is below the market average, and staff often feel unappreciated due to frequent last-minute assignments. The work environment is generally friendly, but there is noticeable favoritism between senior staff and newcomers. You’ll need strong mental and physical endurance for this job, as it can be physically demanding, including carrying samples via stairs.
