Business Outlook
Pros
Scripps is a friendly, non-stressful work environment. The people are nice and down to earth. Middle management generally has a very good working relationship with subordinates (I never actually feel like a subordinate, but more like a team member). The campus atmosphere is casual but stimulating. And the folks that run the individual labs are brilliant.
Cons
Because Scripps is a not for profit and funding is based on what the investigators bring in, salaries may be a bit lower than industry. Also, with funding cuts across the board, sometimes it can be scary not knowing if your postition/lab/investigator will be funded in the next cycle. With future funding always a question, people get jumpy at the end of a funding cycle.
