Pros

The benefits such as a pension retirement, health care and number of holidays are great. I get to work with some great scientists and feel like what I do contributes to scientific advances.

Cons

There is a complete lack of respect from the scientific community for support staff. This attitude flows down from senior staff. If you aren't a scientist, pay and promotions are seriously limited. There is a serious lack of parking and parking based on salary level and job position so very limited for staff. There are no promotion opportunities and no defined career path for non scientific staff. There are no flexible work schedules and senior management has recognized that everyone on salary is expected to work extra hours.
