Job is okay. But the workers are privileged due to their years of work here

Pros

The job is okay. And if you don't mind the commute into Center City then the job should work for you.

Cons

The pay is not competitive . There is not a lot of creativity, or relaxed feels to the office. You're very isolated through out the day due to the very high cubicle walls. If you want a place to state your opinion for a enhancement or change or simply introducing a simpler way to approach a task, don't bother applying. Things have been the same here for many years and they plan on keeping it that way. And with all the empty offices you would think there would be potential to grow in the company but think again. Your manager is in the cubicle next to you, that does not show much advancement.

Pros

I feel that everyone is valued here, no matter the position. There is a regular reminder of the mission of the organization.

Cons

There does not seem to be close communications between departments.

Pros

- Established in 1907 (Notable) - Convenient Old City location (Immediately beside Liberty Bell) - Great cause - Intriguing science to work beside

Cons

- No maternity leave - No offered training or workshops (Additionally, education credit compensation very low and kicks in only after 2 years + of employment) No one I know of here is actively pursuing education on the side. - No/ lack of office culture (Envison opposite of hip, innovative culture) - New ideas do not cultivate - Managers need management training - Directors is not a fit for their department but they remain - Some senior staff on team is toxic for growth and renewal of department (Senior staff will tease and berate; management staff when addressed will explain that is how they are and to leave them be. If senior staff complains to management about you, however, it is taken as fact and changes implemented without a discussion with you.) - Disorganized
