Pros

Good benefits and flexible work hours, if you can work with your supervisor to get this approved.

Cons

I liked NIH mission but didn't appreciate that there was no opportunity for promotion. People come here and stay here until retirement. People who have been with the government are disgruntled but have no way out. It's hard to keep good people here because there are more opportunities with better pay outside the federal government.
