      Pros

      The research was very interesting, and some labs did some really cool stuff. The benefits were also extensive and supportive (especially healthcare).

      Cons

      Every lab I worked in was terribly disorganized, and the PI's were micromanaging and discouraged Research Technicians from pursuing their passions, and discouraged me from academic research in general.

      Thank you for sharing your positive 5-star review and for the kind words about your colleagues. We're glad that comes through. As an academic health system, research is central to who we are. The work you and our research teams do every day touches patients and communities across the region and beyond. Thank you for being part of Penn State Health.

      Pros

      Works from home and PTO

      Cons

      Consistently adding more and new work assignments with no additional compensation or training causing much stress among the staff. Pay does not reflect importance and difficulty of the position.
