Pros

Job security, good benefits (including full tuition after one year's service), generally intelligent, committed colleagues (depends on unit), smart students, prestigious organization

Cons

Pay hardly increases (less that 2%/year for even the best performers--some years is flat), no cost of living adjustment, little incentive or possibility to move up in the organization, little incentive for professional growth (it has to come from you), widespread disregard for staff by faculty and upper administration, including the Provost.

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.
