Pros

-Mission to discover scientific answers to problems is bold and audacious. -Architecture/Location is stunning and never gets old. -Administrative co-workers are professional, dedicated, and talented.

Cons

Leadership micromanages and does not support administrative staff. The workload is very heavy on administrative staff and the pay is on the low end. High turnover. Faculty run the Institute. The administrative team is treated as second-class employees. Every complaint from faculty or scientific staff is treated as a fact and handled like a crisis where administrative complaints about salary, etc. are largely ignored. Current leadership micromanages and makes decisions based on fear and risk. Toxic behavior by some faculty is tolerated which feeds more bad behavior.
