Pros

Great flexibility with schedule, casual work environment, cool science, travel opportunities, paid leave.

Cons

Management that plays favorites because it's easy to do so, horridly uncompetitive pay when compared to work of the same type in the private sector, terrible upper level management, red tape causing frugality that hampers work, outdated security policies and strange procedures with regards to training. Management often abuses power.
