      In general, Berkeley Lab is coasting off its reputation and historical success...an emphasis on pecking order.

      Pros

      Great reputation and exposure to some cutting edge science. Informal work environment and great view from atop the bay area.

      Cons

      No leadership, poor communication, strong sense of pecking order, poor collaboration, no commitment to innovation process, management is lacking or non-existent, facility is outdated, lack of resources.

      Pros

      The benefits such as a pension retirement, health care and number of holidays are great. I get to work with some great scientists and feel like what I do contributes to scientific advances.

      Cons

      There is a complete lack of respect from the scientific community for support staff. This attitude flows down from senior staff. If you aren't a scientist, pay and promotions are seriously limited. There is a serious lack of parking and parking based on salary level and job position so very limited for staff. There are no promotion opportunities and no defined career path for non scientific staff. There are no flexible work schedules and senior management has recognized that everyone on salary is expected to work extra hours.
