Pros
Technicians and repository employees are great and fun people to work with. Benefit package is actually pretty good and they have a fitness room.
Cons
Salaries are NOT appropriate for Northern Virginia, reviews are non-negotiable (whatever manager says is taken at face value) and based on a forced bell curve, your prior experience is not valued, and managers are always looking for the next scape-goat. Senior management gets rotated every 6 months or so and nepotism runs pretty rampant in the admin wing. If you get in as admin you're golden, if you're a biologist plan to stay there and be abused. There is NO promotional structure and no set timeline or guidance for advancement. HR department is worthless.
