Pros

When I was there, mental health counseling was provided for free as a benefit through One Medical, in addition to free One Medical membership. Not sure if that is included anymore.

Cons

When the pandemic hit, they forced departments to volunteer one or more lower-level staff members to serve as the guards who were checking people at building entrances during the pandemic shutdown. You could either accept the role or go on unpaid leave for about 4 months. You weren't paid extra and you were expected to perform your normal job in addition to 20 hours of guarding the entrances. Absolutely horrific treatment of staff. Do not recommend working here. The pay is also one of the lowest among the universities in the area, and instead of providing merit raises, everyone gets standard 2% raises depending on the whim of the finance office that year. If you want to get a real raise, you have to go out and get a competing offer, and they will only match, not beat, your competing offer.

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.
