Vantaggi

You get to study the most interesting things, and every day can potentially be different. Very free to set your own priorities, within reason. Although I'm sure that's different in the different units.

Svantaggi

Once someone gets past their 1yr probation period it is very difficult to get fired. Which can be great! But it also means that incompetent people never leave, and their tasks just get loaded onto those that will do the work. Retired/resigned positions are not replaced, and every unit I know of is understaffed.

Great mission. Strong benefits including health insurance and 403b contribution. Many people stick around for 5, 10, 15+ years.

Things are sometimes slow due to bureaucracy.
