Pros

Stable work environment, good purpose, good work schedules, stable budgets, good facilities, interesting relationship with DOE and ORNL, good overall employee morale, good base of lower level workers, fair compenstation but they try to equalize everyone supports a lack of performance, good work/life balance.

Cons

Locked in old management styles and even though willing, they are unable to change in order to meet the needs of the changing world, terrible recognition and feedback for employees, lack of professional respect and no real fairness, poor communication, poor chance of future career growth unless your plan for growth is 30 years from now.

Pros

Company really values its employees. Very concerned about the health and safety of their employees. This is reflected in the very low turn over in employees. They are not afraid to spend money on training staff especially in the IT department where each employee has an education/training budget. The work is diverse and you get to work with a wide variety of subjects and projects. You actually feel like you are doing something important.

Cons

Not for profit organization. Pay may be lower than other places. Because of the low turn over of employees the average of employees is pushing 50 years old. There will be a large turn over from retirement in the next ten years.
