Pros

Can do some extremely unique science.

Cons

The politics here are horrible, people that have been in charge are in charge because they have been there forever (many of them live up to the government employee stereotype). Management is lacking, after spending 1 year in industry its easy to see that USAMRIID's biggest problem is poor management. Without a strong leadership throughout, some of those in high positions use employees as pawns, which lowers morale.

Pros

Work was not difficult. Interesting and enjoyable research work, it was the best part of the job. Good benefits and vacation time.

Cons

Some DIVs, not all lack strong leadership and personnel management. Really bad things would happen and things would just get sweeped under the rug. Don't get me wrong, not all the people there were like that. The group I worked with had many good people leave, and people that stayed were always toxic. Being unprofessional, swearing, and talking about sex. Back stabbing, lying and libels just because another person was working hard to do an outstanding job because they wanted to or felt threatened. Plus way too much gossip and cliques in idleness.
