Pros

The benefits are great and there are a lot of passionate people who work at the university. Also, I was constantly intellectually stimulated and was able to take full advantage of the many workshops, talks, and events that take place on campus.

Cons

Hiring is extremely slow and I have experienced lapse in pay. Their systems (from top to bottom) are outdated, inefficient, and riddled with bottlenecks. They seem to get away with these inefficiencies due to brand name and prestige.

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.
