Pros

Nice office Interesting papers to read Recognizable name

Cons

Toxic work environment Micro-managing High turnover rate No room for promotion/growth Low salary and weak benefits Higher management would rather replace lower positions every 6 months-1 year than retrain or replace mid-level managers

Pros

The retirement plan through TIAA is a vestige of PNAS's government charter or something like that. It's a good retirement plan that you can't get without being a government employee or, apparently, working through NAS. Not many hours if you don't want them but I think that's so they don't have to pay you. Don't be fooled; they make millions of dollars in profit and can afford to pay you.

Cons

You can find higher paying jobs, in whatever discipline you're seeking, with better benefits that will give you more responsibilities, etc. This is a dead end job--you won't learn to do anything marketable, and you will be poor, which will leave you stuck there. Management is incompetent, which leaves employees disgruntled, and turnover high.
