Pros

Excellent science being conducted by investigators, mouse husbandry and genetics unparalleled. Great benefits.

Cons

Favoritism by senior management, top-down management style by leadership who is out of touch with market. Senior leadership doesn’t treat lower levels with trust or respect. No clear paths for advancement for professionals. Too many people in senior leadership who don’t have experience outside of JAX. Compensation grossly under market average.
