Pros

High paying, Calm environment. It's a university, so part-time positions are best for current students. Definitely only go full-time if you are a professor or something of that nature. All the regular staff seem kind of depressed, except for the security guards. Surprisingly chipper.

Cons

Boring work, Few challenges, Little advancement. The full-time employees are all a bit sleepy and complacent. Difficult environment if you like to get things done efficiently. Coffee also is pretty bad.

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.
