What are the job conditions for a typical forensic scientist?
Conditions are much like any lab position with a few unique aspects. Labs are usually shared, as is the office space. Once you get involved in casework, you will be subpoenaed and will be required to appear in court. These are not flexible and are not changed to meet your needs. Expect to put in extra hours as caseloads demand. Most labs have “comp time” meaning that you get time off for addition hours worked in lieu of overtime pay.
