Better than average.

Pros

Pay is usually above average for whatever position you may work at. People tend not to leave until they retire so It will usually take years before you can advance up. Benefits are good. Casual work attire and flexible work schedule for most departments. Very hard to get fired. Just show up to work everyday and do your job.

Cons

Fermilab is a contractor to DOE so it's a government job with a lot of bureaucratic BS. Lot's of paperwork that tends to move through the system at a snails pace. Very top heavy in management. Training, training, training and more training! When you first start here, you will spend pretty much your first month doing nothing but training.
