Pros

the pay wasn't bad, not much else...

Cons

HR Team in Mexico City was one of the most toxic environments I've ever been in. Literally, these people would think they were owed the world and wouldn't even sit with members of other areas because they felt they weren't worthy of the hr team. Management was horrible, I actually had a manager say I needed to come to work even tho I had suffered an accident and was going thru a very tough time.

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.
