Business outlook
Pros
AAK offers a competitive salary and great benefits. They have switched from experience-based pay to skill-based pay. As a lab tech, you get the opportunity to work with a lot of interesting equipment. The schedule is a 2-2-3, so every other weekend is a 3-day weekend.
Cons
The lab work can become repetitive and tedious. The culture can be stressful because there is a lot of tension between quality and production. The work load is fast-paced, which can become overwhelming. The overall condition of the lab and plant in general is dirty because of vegetable oil everywhere.
