No leadership, senior scientists resting on past and riding the gravy train,

Pros

Great benefits and flexibility. Impressive Microbiology dept., a handful of really good scientists.

Cons

CEO has no business skills, senior scientists are not invested in future of institute, mentoring, or being part of team, lots of old research that isn't going anywhere, Board doesn't understand organization, organization hasn't evolved to meet changing demands of scientific research and funding. Seems like a merger would be the only path to long term success. There is also a divide between scientists and non-science staff. Really awful culture

Pros

All the benefits, and time off you can get. But that's it.

Cons

Well first I'm not exactly sure who I answer to but I'm definitely scared to answer to one of them. I literally have 4 people I have to ask for a day off. Management need a change. Some people have priority there and do get special treatment.
