Pros

Good health benefits, excellent access to instrumentation and expertise because of the association with UC Berkeley. Beautiful main campus on the hill over UC Berkeley makes it a lovely environment to work.

Cons

The bureaucracy of having the DOE as the funding agency can be a bit frustrating. Onerous and sometimes overbearing safety requirements can be frustrating.
