      Mentally Challenging, but Wallet Challenging

      Pros

      I enjoy the work, lots of variety, The great work environment of the past is rapidly disappearing. I enjoy the vast majority of my coworkers, and look forward to each day. The lab sure has changed for the worse over the last 10 years.

      Cons

      Low Salaries, which did NOT keep up with neighboring industry. The original great benefits have been chipped away to below average benefits at best. With annual layoffs the last several years caused by Dept. of Energy budget problems, the future looks bleak. The claim that they value their best asset, their employees, simply is not backed up by their actions.

      Fermilab - used to be a great place to work

      Pros

      work with some of the smartest folks on the planet. Good benefits. Very casual, campus-like work environment.

      Cons

      The computing division is very silo'd. You will get good at your one job, but will have your hand slapped if you get caught trying to do something outside of your dept. You won't be doing your IT career much good by working for Fermilab for a long time. The re-orgs every 6 months get pretty old too. THey just replaced all of the desktop support people with Dell managed services, which had the effect of gutting morale for the remaining IT departments. Everyone is in job-saving mode, and nobody is very interested in working together. The salary freeze is getting old too.
