Pros

Good compensation and excellent benefits. Very flexible with working hours. Most of the faculty are great to work with. An excellent job to have while pursuing a part-time education.

Cons

Limited to no possibility for advancement up the ladder; openings are very rare and they go to friends of the boss. University Human Resources is incompetent and imposes nonsensical policies (e.g. insisting that we be hourly and not salaried employees) that serve no one's interest. Some faculty can be very abusive, and you really don't have the power to say no to any faculty requests, no matter how expensive they are.

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.
