Pros

The pros to working at ORAU left many years ago. It is only a matter of time before the ORISE contract is broken up and the shell of a once great organization finally shatters to reveal of what should be a solid core but in reality is nothing but an empty black abyss of deep state and woke ideology.

Cons

Executives lie to their employees. They promise promotions and pay raises but then "change their mind" and don't have fortitude to tell you. This is all after you have been forced into covering multiple positions with not even a "thank you."
