Pros

Great retirement and tuition benefits. The mission of the university is positive and you can be proud of the students that come through the halls. The tuition benefit is great, but it can also make you feel locked in to working until your degree is complete.

Cons

The bureaucracy of the beast.. Whether it be supervisors, HR, or other administrative officers, there always seems to be two answers to every question. Also, for entry level employees there is little space to move up, so you most likely have to leave the university and get experience elsewhere before you can get a high level position.

Pros

Job security throughout budget cuts happening in the public health industry currently. Plenty of PTO and holiday paid leave.

Cons

Constant threats by upper management to "write us up/disciplinary action" for anything. Director is really unfair/disrespectful/condescending to our supervisor and so that trickles down to data coordinators. For example currently there is a threat that we will be "written up" if we do not meet all the competing deadlines. Ive seen sooo people many come and go in this sector over the past 3 years its insane. Its alot of data to manually enter and one must be organized /driven and on top of your game but it gets borring if your not passionate about the cancer trials you are working on.
