Pros
Lot of flexibility, lots of on the job training opportunities. Depending on your boss, your job could be very flexible with you making your own hours. Holidays are pretty standard. There is a high caliber of professors there and the prestige that goes with Salk should look good on a resume. It's mostly a low stress environment.
Cons
Being science, there is little room for advancement without a PhD and even sometimes with one. I think salaries may be capped based on the fact that this is a non-profit so don't expect that of a Biotech or Pharma.
