Thanks for your insights. There may well be places where the salary could be higher but considering total compensation and opportunity, we try to be very competitive. Over the long run, Laboratory employees are by and large in a very good situation.

Pros

It can vary a lot from group to group, but in general, wonderful place with wonderful people and lots of interesting work going on. Excellent benefits and lots of flexibility to explore different projects.

Cons

Little opportunity for advancement in terms of rank and compensation once you reach technical staff. Additionally (again varies from group to group) expectations of what a staff member does can be unclear and there can be a light sink-or-swim nature to the work, again depending on the group you're in.

Pros

great people to work with, but not for.

Cons

Leadership needs to look inward and see what is wrong. If you want to get hired here you must need to know someone hire up.
