Pros

You get to help or work directly on positive, meaningful, earth changing, scientific work. Good benefits, government protections.

Cons

Below average pay. It is a challanging place to advance careers and get promotions unless you are a scientist.

Pros

See the title of this review. Very nice retirement and medical benefits, although your salary will be less than in industry. However, there is a lot of flexibility with when you do your work and vacations are respected (and expected!)

Cons

Lower pay makes it hard to live in the bay area. LBL only have real career advancement for those with a Ph D. (maybe that's not wrong, just limiting for me at the moment.)
