Pros

Good pay, good benefits, good people to work with.

Cons

Way too many levels of management. Favortism runs rampant throughout the company and you could always tell who the favorites were. People are overloaded and management doesn't care as long as the work gets done. There is little incentive to work that hard except for getting a paycheck. Promotions are very biased...favortism outweighs qualifications.

Pros

They pay my salary on time.

Cons

-They are run like grad school. They have you compete against your co-workers for funding, they consider rules and laws as simple impediments to be overcome by capricious edicts, they will treat you like a rented mule if you let them. I have come to the conclusion that senior management cares very little about work conditions or employees, only about the bottom line. This experience has significantly changed my opinion of not-for-profit companies. If you are a researcher looking for an open and collaborative environment with shared goals, I suggest you look elsewhere.
