Pros

Lots of freedom to select work schedule.

Cons

Almost no one ever gets fired no matter how incompetent they may be which results in a large number amount of dead wood. The productive get punished by being assigned more work that other, less competent co-workers should be doing. Quality is very low on the priority of administration.

good pay for this role in the area. very flexible working schedule. full autonomy with a lot of decision making. A lot of technical progress if you love to learn what your facility does. Health care plan is free for employee with $1000 deductible which is impressively nice.

Cons

not really cons, just comparing to university's 28 days sick leave, WVU research corp provide no sick leave. Only PTO.
