Pros

Northeastern’s benefits are amazing—great health/dental, great vacation time and sick time, and if you don’t have a higher degree, the free master’s degree opportunity is amazing. Overall a great place to work—depending which college you get into within the university.

Cons

An Asst. Co-op Coordinator is essentially a salesman. You are going out into the field trying to develop new jobs and employer partnerships. At the end of the day, if you don’t have 100% student placement, you are not doing your job. Teaching and advising students is very minimal to what you are expected to do: develop jobs. If you are not bringing new jobs and accounts in, it is negative, which can prevent you from a raise and/or promotion. It can be very stressful and anxiety inducing. If a co-op coordinator can last longer than 2-3 years, that is an accomplishment.

Pros

As always, the quality of a postdoc is very related to the quality of your supervisor and team, but Northeastern has good facilities and a vibrant research community.

Cons

The university is large so sometimes the administration can feel impersonal.
