Great Lab, but need better management - Anonymous employee SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory Employee Review

Bloating managment personnel. The managment in the Lab was uncapable to bring down the cost for doing science. Instead they kept increasing the overhead to hire more non scientific staffs. The missed the core value of the Lab. This problem was becoming very severe during the term of the past director, Drell. Hopefully, it would be changed with the new director. High living cost in the surrounding area. When this is taken into consideration, the pay is a bit low.
