Former Employee – worked at Lovelace Respiratory Research Institute

Pros – The research environment is excellent. There are some very good scientists to work with and the research environment is very collaborative. There are many common-use instruments and good equipment available.

Cons – Women do not get promotions as easily as men do. Pay is better for men than women. Often, men come in with a PhD and 0 years of experience, but get a junior scientist job. Women have to work as a postdoc for 3 or more years before they are offered a junior scientist job. Pay is very low for postdocs and there are no benefits for postdocs other than health insurance - this means no vacation or sick leave!

Advice to Senior Management – Pay should be more in line with other science and industry employers in the area. Women should be treated equal to men.
