Pros

The work is good. Very flexible, and accommodating culture. Friendly people. Stress free environment. Also the option of taking free courses from UNC Chapel Hill. Love this place.

Cons

Wish salaries were better - but then again, they are competitive with other national research labs. Some good cafes in the vicinity would have been nice. Also some sofas.

Pros

There were truly no pros in my experience. One of the worst managed data research and implementation organizations I have ever worked at in my career.

Cons

Several. The salaries are not very competitive but I was hired with promises of promotion, fast tracks to the next level, etc., none of which happened and when I asked in my performance review I was informed to be thankful I had the position and just keep working harder (was already putting in 50+ hours a week). If you like working somewhere that is stuck in the early 2000's, is run by old men, and essentially old-school management structure and priniciples, then this is the place for you. Even the office looks like something out of the 90's / early 2000's.
