Pros

Co-workers were great! Nice clean friendly campus! Decent insurance and retirement plans. Good sick, vacation and holiday paid time off.

Cons

Bad turnover, burnout is through the roof! Low annual budget for office. Had to buy own office supplies. Everything is outdated unpleasant atmosphere. Unreasonable expectations due to insufficient staffing. Low pay for difficult job, especially when they are considering raising minimum wage to $15.

Pros

The experience was great. The PI was amazing and kind and I learned a lot, definitely would do it again. It yielded great results for me such as publication. I recommend for medical school or graduate school.

Cons

Difficult to justify if you don’t plan to have a research career, graduate or professional school because the pay is lower than other positions available in Blacksburg.
