Pros

Well maintained building and laboratories Room to move around in the company if your boss lets you (which he/she can block if they want)

Cons

Company tends to stray too far from core business into unknown and unproven business ventures An above average amount of people get fired due to "under performance", to which employees are given no notice or remediation opportunity CEO (and VP's) makes an obscene about of money ($1.2M) for a "non profit" organization Some employees are under worked (7 hour days) and some over worked (overtime with no pay) Many managers have a profit first, employees second attitude Employees are pushed to meet revenue goals, with little regard to project feasibility and preparation Goals and due dates are set to unattainable and unsustainable levels Employee family members and friends get preferential hiring treatment and are placed above more qualified external candidates Many people are fired for not meeting goals or just because their managers do not like them

Pros

Great public mission and NSF does great work in the Water and Food Equipment industries. Middle management and below are chocked full of really competent and good people.

Cons

Senior management not grounded in reality. Leadership has a tendency to jump into businesses without appropriate market research, then pull the plug before the business has a chance to gain traction and succeed. Mergers are similar with little or no post merger integration strategy.

Pros

nice building, good medical, good location

Cons

Vey stressful, low compensation, lots of manual work, no training, poor work experience, understaffed. Some other deparments are good but IT department is a hopeless place. No wonder it has huge attrition rate and that adds even more burden on already stressed people. Some other departments are better.
