Pros

job definitions for research-oriented staff can be stretched to include wide variety of experiences and work

Cons

research roles are completely grant-based with no thought to integrating research and service roles for research staff - so that each time new grant comes in new staff have to be recruited and trained instead of having local talent pool who can be invested in and developed into long-term research employees

Extremely low pay for Boston cost of living. Limited promotions (1 every 2 years if you’re lucky).
