Supportive supervisors and good benefits, but limited growth

Reserach assistant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good support from supervisor who is responsible for salary, however this does depend on your supervisor. Great benefits that are conducive for the region more specifically than nationally.

Cons

The ability to grow upwards is not something that I found to be entirely easy, but it does depend on the supervisor.
