good working environment, good work-life balance, good emphasis on personal development though opportunities for that are thin on the ground

Grade progression is very slow and hard beyond a certain point in scientific departments. Experience can vary widely from one department to another

Pros

if you do your job well, no one will hound you or micro manage. it is a very solo job and can get repetitive. fun departmental and site wide activities planned.

Cons

cannot participate in all activities because contractors cannot be treated or "rewarded" or included as employees. Very hard to get hired on.
