Pros

I thoroughly enjoy working with the people I work with at Georgetown University. My supervisor, Professor Diana Owen, has been absolutely supportive of me ever since I arrived and is a terrific supervisor. My time spent there has been rewarding and educational.

Cons

The job as research associate was never intended to be permanent. I was asked to stay on after graduation and decided to do so for a limited time out of loyalty to Professor Owen and the research team, and because I feel passionate about our research project. However, the position is not a full-time salary position. I have nothing negative to say about working in my current duties. It was a complete honor and privilege to work there.

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.
