Pros

Vibrant, nice people to work with. Interesting projects and ever changing. Honestly was my dream job until I was thrown to the wolves.

Cons

Was left to do the work of multiple lab assistants while the coworker who was supposed to help me didn't show up. Eventually I passed out twice in the greenhouse from trying to do all the tasks for all the scientists while my coworkers ate and conversed all day and still expected me to do the job of almost every other lab assistant there along with many added on tasks that were supposed to be done by the scientists, not a lab assistant.

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.

-May have to work extra hours, with no pay, to keep up with the demand of research, but it depends on each lab's requirements
