      Pros

      Very good work-life balance; reasonable salary; excellent benefits; easy work. Many managers are supportive of their employees and are all-around nice people.

      Cons

      The work conducted by the vast majority is pointless, making no difference to the organization or its mission. A mindless herd mentality is the norm. Most managers are technically illiterate. A few managers are self-centered ladder climbers and treat employees very poorly.

      Pros

      You sometimes get to help the environment

      Cons

      You're more often working with companies to minimize the amount they pollute, not preventing pollution as the ideal. Terrible managers and multiple layers of them. I have 4 layers of management before someone can make a decision. No resources for training.

      Pros

      Very talented and dedicated staff. Top notch scientists who care about the mission. Total absence of modern technology, especially information technology, forces everyone to think outside the box for workarounds - great for team building.

      Cons

      Incompetent management/leadership. Leadership positions randomly (or maybe not randomly) dropped into various offices rather than allowing career ladders for superior performers. The problems with leadership is the reason why I am looking for a different job.
