CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Depending on your department the lab has fairly flexible hours, time off is pretty standard, and there are lots of paid holidays per year. The research being done at the lab is important.

Cons

The lab is set up for research, its hard to advance when you're not on the scientist track. There is a good amount of bureaucracy to wade through, lots of forms to fill out, online trainings to take, etc.
