Pros
There are fantastic bosses and teams in the group. The work is challenging, and when you show you are capable, you can get as much responsibility as you can handle. Working on the research and the projects themselves has very gratifying moments, as you feel you're contributing to improving social services and people's lives.
Cons
Management "talks the talk" when it comes to valuing its employees, but trying to wrench a few hundred dollars for a training course is like pulling teeth - no matter your contributions to the bottom line. Operational units that bring in money have to beg the "internal units" like IT and HR for services, and follow each step of the process to make sure the services are provided. There is a cap on raises that is unconscionably low, given the devotion in sweat and hours that are asked of individuals to finish the tasks they are assigned. There is so much work that new business opportunities slip by - because management won't devote the resources to pursue them.
