Pros

Salk offers great benefits for their employees and they really try to emphasize living a healthy, balanced life with a healthy workplace environment. It's also very nicely situated directly above the beach and right next to the gliderport, as well as right by torrey pines golf course and close

Cons

Salk seems to find seniority, or time worked at the institute as the be all and end all in terms of employment. Many people have been there for an extensive period of time, despite seeming to be completely inept at doing their jobs, and it seems that this time is all that matters. I understand being loyal to your employees who are loyal to you, but when you compromise actual ability to do the job you were originally hired to do and just perpetuate a cycle of inadequacy, something needs to be re-evaluated.
