Vantaggi
The organization is at the forefront of cancer research. One of the perks of the org is that you will never get fired, which leads to one of the problems of incompetent employees who are comfortable, staying/being kept around for as long as they will stay due to the CEOs love of loyal employees (i.e. longevity). Thus you have a lot of the most tenured employees who are lingering and proving to be the most ineffective, uncreative, uninspired demographic of the organization and biggest part of the problem which in turn is dragging the organization down.
Svantaggi
The organization is stuck in a time warp (from the 70s) from the physical plant to the rules, regulations and benefits. Have you ever heard a rule that you can't listen to music at your desk, even at a low level? They are scarily comfortable with "that's the way things have always been" as opposed to what is the best for the organization, what is an industry standard or a best practice. The administration/HR department couldn't tell you anything about benchmarking because most of the benefits don't "kick in" for one year (except for medical/dental) and the 403b plan doesn't kick in for two years!! There is no interest in "modernizing" the organization from the dated fabric cubicles, the darkness of the work areas, to the 70s tile setup of the bathrooms that don't circulate any air. Working from home does not exist.
