Pros

The benefits at SU are terrific and comprehensive. There is also a nice grant writing series that trains researchers on writing successful grants that I found useful.

Cons

SU is a very on and off place to work as a researcher. Some of the groups are terrific, with collaboration and scientific rigor, others are terrible groups to work in with little or no support. In the biomedical and chemical engineering department, the postdocs have very little communication, and science seems to take a back seat to the egos of the professors in the department. The collaborative environement is minimal, and the financial support lacking as well. Overall, I'm disappointed to say that I cannot reccomend SU as a place to advance your career as a scientist in training.

Pros

Benefits but they are letting go of people who use them.

Cons

Mean spirited work environment, hostile incompetent new VP and Directors that cannot lead or manage. Business decisions without plans, just dreams no real action and then take it out on the average worker.
