Pros

Friendly people and small working environment made for a personable atmosphere, not to mention when life stuff happens, they're very accommodating. Plus, being on the campus every day was just an amazing experience. Also: after one year working at the university, you can enroll at the university for a master's program that's fully reimbursed.

Cons

There is a huge bureaucracy at the university. Also, and this is perhaps the most disconcerting thing, full-time employees who are staff (not faculty nor upper-level administration) get treated second-class at times in terms of salary and salary raises. Many of my colleagues took advantage of the tuition reimbursement and then left for a much better paying job after graduating with an MBA or other master's degree. Unless you are a professor, this is likely not a long-term job destination.

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.
