Pros

Employed, pay check, experience, interesting work

Cons

The saddest bunch of depressed, mentally unstable people. Everyone here needs therapy. High stress environment that pits coworkers against each other since promotions are few and far between. Management will be lucky if they don't bleed every single experienced person here in the near future

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.
