Out-of-this-world benefits vs. Dysfunctional Senior Leadership - Research Specialist Boyce Thompson Institute Employee Review

Pros

After 7 years at the company you get 6 weeks PTO, which you can partially roll over. They also provide excellent retirement match. Healthcare coverage was outstanding (as long as you choose EPO and not high deductible plan). I've made some great friends there, but the work culture died shortly after I got there.

Cons

Management was by far the worst aspect of this company. It's the definition of dysfunctional. The president removed term limits so he can serve as long as he chooses. The nepotism there has run rampant and they have virtually no HR department (as of 2019 at least, though the trend had been going for about 5 years or so). As long as you keep your head down, do your work, and don't expect any real work culture change, you'll do fine.

Pros

Interesting work. Science happens there.

Cons

Chronic underpayment for scientific staff unless a Principal Investigator. They own you and your ideas, shamelessly.
