Pros
LLNL allows a scientist to accomplish big science surrounded by resources and incredibly knowledgeable and committed people. The lab gives you a lot of room to grow and explore new ideas, and the support structure (in most cases) is very strong.
Cons
You're working for the government, so all the benefits that may come from working for a private company (frequent bonuses, team building, etc) are nonexistent. Bureaucracy and politics abound (e.g., if you want a promotion, you're more likely to get it by threatening to leave b/c you have an offer from somewhere else than from the merit of your work).

Pros
9/80 work schedule gives me every other Friday off. Choice of multiple medical plans. Ability to work at home as needed. People are great to work with and there are regular all hands meeting to keep us current on issue. Proud to work for a company responsible for the security of our nation.
Cons
Only con I can think of is the 90 mile round trip to the lab. But I work mostly at home so it isn't a big deal.
