Pros

The team I was on for my 12 month contract was second to nun. Everyone worked together to overcome some life threatening problems.

Cons

Management puts more time and effort into planning parties and social events. Alcohol is available and drank 24/7 on and off the job. Alcohol related problems are covered up for fear the NSF will make rules to remove it. You have upper management that runs the place like a frat party. They have forgot what they are down there for. To support science, research is at the bottom of the list. If your a drunk, than this may not be a con.
