      It is a place where supervisors do not seem to want to treat you like you are a person with some intelligence.

      Pros

      Best reasons: Vacation/Sick time. At one time I would of said it was because Rick Woychik was leading the Jackson Lab. He cared what his employees thought and instituted a lab wide review once a year to get inpute from everyone at the lab. He showed that he cared about the people that the Lab employed by taking an interest in us!

      Cons

      Not enough feed back from supervisors on the job you are doing, they tend to tell you only what they feel you should know, we tend to learn the rest from gossip. They are not always truthful and seem to fight communication. If Supervisors were more proactive in communicating with their employees, maybe there would not be a need for the amount of gossip there is at the lab!

      Pros

      Great people doing amazing collaborative work - opportunities to work with some of the best researchers in the world while living in a caring small community that's a terrific place to raise a family. Very tolerant,open-minded place to live.

      Cons

      Not a large metro area - but right next to a National Park on the ocean. Very quiet with few entertainment and dining choices during long winters - but friendly and intelligent people with whom to share them

      Pros

      TJL has the best benefit package of any work place in the area. Career development is encouraged. The pay is above average for this area. The work is interesting and challenging. I am extremely glad that I made this career move 11 years ago.

      Cons

      I can't really think of a downside of working at TJL other than having to travel to work in the winter. TJL does not give snow days!
