Pros

A great place to work if you're integrated into a DOE program -- if you're lone-wolfing it on soft money, do not expect any support.

Cons

Most computational folks are still offsite as of April 2023 -- for some this may be a pro.

Pros

People are great, and what you get to work on is amazing. Work here for those reasons alone. Physics department pays it's postdocs above national average. Benefits are fine to mediocre. The coverage itself is fine, but the insurance company UC system relies on is terrible and unhelpful. It's currently difficult to get food at the lab, and most of us are still remote. I will gladly bump the rating up to 4 stars when the cafeteria opens again.

Cons

Low pay and benefits. Cafeteria used to be amazing, is closed now. Only a single food truck.
