Pros

My campus had a Starbucks!

Cons

Where to start… managers in Neuroscience are ridiculous and out of control. They are always hiring people, because they are always firing people for stupid ridiculous things. The manager will come up with fake things if you get on her bad side, especially if you are Caucasian. My advice to white girls – don’t do it. It’s simply not worth putting years of hard work into a dead end job to get fired over bs. I know the economy is bad, but it’s not worth accepting a job will you will ultimately be unappreciated, over worked and ultimately fired. Half the people there are temp workers w/o any benefits. The turnover is high and the talk is cheap.

Pros

+The company is severely incompetent +Trauma-bonding with your co-workers will never be easier

Cons

-Toxic management culture: you'll frequently be brought into full-team meetings where the management will circle-jerk themselves, refuse to listen to team members, change random procedures, then ask why the workers want to unionize. -The company is SEVERELY incompetent: the company blows thousands of dollars on worthless things like their own in-house AI chatbot GPT clone and refuses to spend money on resources wisely while simultaneously complaining about the budget. -Abhorrently dishonest: They let me go after bringing me into a meeting to discuss "communication expectations." They then refused to allow two-party consent for recording, fired me for apparently "violating their standards of protocol", refused to allow me to stay to gather any evidence of their random firing, and refused to respond to any emails to confirm the nature of the meeting. This was ALSO the week before the management promised everyone on our team an annual raise. -Separation is a nightmare: Not only did they lie about the reason for separation before being busted by the state, but they also refuse to cash out PTO time, and HR is a nightmare to work with when confirming details for state services.
