Pros

Great benefits, quality of life balance. Interesting work and opportunity to grow intellectually. Job security, generous vacation and sick time.

Cons

On the one hand scientists are top notch and work hard. On the other hand the support side of the house bloated with do-nothing bureaucrats who would never make it in industry. Cronyism rampant, management positions given to unqualified buddies/teachers pets. This is improving but it'll be a long time before the old guard retires.

Pros

Everyone here is great to work with. Work is interesting.

Cons

Middle of nowhere, takes almost a full lunch break to just get anywhere. Some Managers are hired only for their experience in the field and not how they can/would manage staff. Still annoyed about getting the covid jab to keep my job. It was pointless and got sick anyway 3 weeks later. No apologies or acknowledgment for any wrong doing will ever be made.
