Pros
This company has a broad scope of analysis, enabling employees to gain experience in a variety of different types of analysis. The company is actively pursuing bringing the newest technology and analytical methods into the scope. This enables a new employee who shows aptitude to move from one department to another and broaden their experience base, increasing job opportunities in the future.
Cons
As a commercial laboratory there is little control over the timing of the sample loads or short hold samples arriving and there are times that you will have to change direction from one type of prep or analysis to another based on client needs that were unforeseen. As an employee you need to have a certain amount of flexibility and ability to change direction.
