Pros

I would say the tuition benefit, but that only traps you. You will be so stressed by working as a staff member that you cannot learn. Not to mention problems with the programs that have part-time options.

Cons

Everything. Turnover is a huge problem in that it takes 4-6 months to replace a vacant role and during that time, they have you do two jobs (if not more). Then you get burnt out and leave and they put your job onto another person who is already doing 2-3 jobs. Morale is so bad that no one will help each other. It is nearly impossible to complete a simple task in fewer than 10 business days due to being sent in circles by every department.

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.
