Pros
Benefits & Job security. Plus it is a very slow paced environment--government work. IF you enjoy getting paid for 40, but working about 20, then it's the place for you.
Cons
Time getting in and out of the facility--it's largely due to the security presence WHICH is a GOOD THING, but sometimes it can be a bit time consuming and seemingly tedious. "Some" groups at Y-12 make decisions without truly understanding and using all the facts. Unfortunately, one particular group has nothing to do with day to day operations and production requirements for the facility--they lie in wait lurking for a "problem" to solve. Instead of taking a more humanitarian approach, they choose to pretend to flex their muscles trying express just how much power and control they have. It would be more funny, but the sad truth of the matter is that they just don't have a lot to do so they make the most noise they can when they can.
