Pros

The cafeteria food is good. The credit union is convenient. Nature at sight is great. Middle management is OK so long as their egos are fed.

Cons

No place for people with disabilities. Don't ask questions, as you will be labeled Stupid. Supervisors rip people behind their back, sometimes to their face! Don't expect support from Human Resources, the Anti Harassment Policy is BS! After 20 years, I wasn't given an exit interview. Vulgar harassment through the Email system is prevalent. Good thing I found a real job at twice the pay. DOE needs to step in!
