      Pros

      Jackson Laboratory allows for the flexible working hours and sometimes work from home. Bar Harbor is a very nice place to live.

      Cons

      This place is good for biologists, but not other technical professionals. The training opportunity is very limited if you are not biologist.

      Pros

      New facility Some of the coworkers that are down to earth are still here (only very few) Very hard working folks (taken for granted) Oh, and 2 big screen tvs in the breakroom

      Cons

      Non profit trying to run like corporate, without the money Lots of gossip Have to fight for your job, even though you cant get goals accomplished Lack of teamwork and communication, even though they want that environment Lots of people are miserable but dont want to leave Unfairness in how people are treated Too many politics for a nonprofit research High turnover rates Inconsistincies within Sac facility and across both coast facilities Lots of frustration throughout the facility They dont want to fire people because they dont want to pay unemployment

      Pros

      Great research happening here. Very academic atmosphere, exciting to hear about all the great advances coming from the scientists. Largest employer in Hancock County, one of the biggest in Maine. Your co-workers and peers are great, as are the scientists at all levels. Management and administration, not so much.

      Cons

      Housing costs in Bar Harbor/MDI are very high so odds are you'll need to commute from Trenton, Lamoine or Ellsworth. Commuting in the summer can take a long time.
