Pros

The weight of saying that you work at Georgetown is great. Of course, you can network and meet other people. The biggest pro for me was the benefits, especially that you get free or reduced tuition for you or your children.

Cons

I think the pay was very low for the amount of work expected. A salary of 30-40k a year while living in Washington, DC and saving to apply to graduate school or medical school is incredibly hard to live with. Transportation to the university is an big issue.

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.
