Pros

- Work life balance - Salary is okay

Cons

- Lack of promotions. Even with on the job training and skills promotions still rely on what college degree you completed. - Higher positions are usually filled by external hires instead of looking at internal employee capabilities - Lack of clear development plans for employees. Employees are constantly told, "It is up to the employee how they want to develop." There is no guidance for options or opportunities. - Constantly shifting project priorities - Not a lot of projects to work on on the R&D side

Pros

if you do your job well, no one will hound you or micro manage. it is a very solo job and can get repetitive. fun departmental and site wide activities planned.

Cons

cannot participate in all activities because contractors cannot be treated or "rewarded" or included as employees. Very hard to get hired on.
