Pros

(All specific to GUMC) Faculty are very knowledgeable in their fields and are always willing to have a chat! Great benefits especially tuition. A lot of very interesting people work here, and all of the shared resource departments are fantastic. Better pay than competing institutions but still pretty bad for cost of living in DC area.

Cons

(All specific to GUMC) The culture is highly variable between labs and departments. Bad experiences seem to be pretty rare here, but when they’re bad they’re really bad. Broadly, avoid joining any work environment where spouses or relatives work together.

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.
