Pros
Great team and intra-team culture. Fully remote positions. Great systems and tools to do your job. Supportive immediate managers
Cons
Senior management severely undervalues the contribution the contracting team makes to the entire institution (the same can be said for all of Research Management). Benefits have been significantly cut. PTO all comes from a single pool - all of you vacation, sick, personal days AND federal holidays are all pulled from the same pool (start at 25 days and 8 of those days are eaten up by federal holidays). High volume with pressure execute agreements faster - to keep it in check you do need to work longer hours (more than a standard 40hr week). So while work life balance is advocated across the system, the system is setup for failure on that front. Stress is high. Turnover is high - constantly in coverage or training mode.
