Pros

Challenging tasks, employees that care,

Cons

Executive leadership does not know where they want to go. They keep spending money on silly IT projects trying to band-aid old systems that just don't work efficiently. The focus on being a good lab went away with all the distractions (Rhodes, Southern lab, canabis, etc.).
