CARO ANALYTICAL SERVICES Employee Review
Really nice coworkers but too stressful
Laboratory Technician (Former Employee) - Burnaby, BC - 26 August 2023
Great place to gain some experience as a recent graduate but the work is repetitive and there are not too many opportunities to advance. Also the pay is very low and not worth the stress you are under. It can also get a bit chaotic at times since it's not a well-organized workplace. But all the people i worked with were super nice!

Terrible pay
Laboratory Technician (Current Employee) - Kelowna, BC - 26 October 2023
Job requires post secondary education and pays an insulting amount. McDonald’s down the street is better pay. Upper management will also ignore any concerns and pretend like there isn’t a problem. Only up side is that the people in the lab are good.

Abysmal pay, poor wages, bad salary
Laboratory Technician (Former Employee) - Kelowna, BC - 20 October 2023
Not a bad stepping stone, but the pay is insulting.It could take up to 8 months to gain benefits eligibility.Raises are small and infrequent.Workplace atmosphere can be uncomfortable.The work itself is okay, although the samples are often unpleasant.Post secondary science education should absolutely be a requirement.Lots of odd jobs during lulls.
Pros
Some fun events, snacks and coffee, Pto
Cons
Horrible pay, weekend work, unpleasant odours

Terrible Workplace
Lab Technician (Former Employee) - Burnaby, BC - 5 June 2023
Management does not care about you and will keep asking you to do tasks that are not even related to your position while paying barely above minimum wage and guilt tripping you by saying "Do it for our team!". All that hard work and you will maybe get a $10 gift card or a pizza party. They say they can not give you a raise due to the economy but have quarterly meetings stating record profits and how we should work hard.
Pros
Coworkers are nice
Cons
Management
