Pros

The pay is very good compared to industry, the physical plant was nice, and the benefits were excellent.

Cons

My last few years there saw constant instbility. Each department was is own little feifdom. Senior management seemed clueless, disinterested, or outright exploitative. Promotion was done by a series of favoritism and entirely unrelated to performance (which was reviewed in a chicken-sh** "cover your butt" fill-in-the-box style which said nothing).

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
