Pros

They have a liberal work schedual and allow you to get your work week done and do family things. You have to put in 40 hours a week but it's not on a set schedual. You get 6 months paid sick leave on top of vacation time.

Cons

As of this time I can't say anything bad

Pros

They pay my salary on time.

Cons

-They are run like grad school. They have you compete against your co-workers for funding, they consider rules and laws as simple impediments to be overcome by capricious edicts, they will treat you like a rented mule if you let them. I have come to the conclusion that senior management cares very little about work conditions or employees, only about the bottom line. This experience has significantly changed my opinion of not-for-profit companies. If you are a researcher looking for an open and collaborative environment with shared goals, I suggest you look elsewhere.
