Pros

Excellent access to cutting edge technology in plant science

Cons

Culture is that jobs are temporary and DDPSC functions as a stepping stone for post-docs and PI's to start-ups and industry. No emphasis/benefit for support staff retention. Very hierarchical.

Pros

Wonderful culture, smart people, ambitious research, academic research institution

Cons

Like most academic institutes, the Danforth center is mostly transitory for research employees that are completing advanced degrees or fulfilling postdoctoral fellowships. It can be hard to be a long time employee.
