Advice to Senior Management

The divide between Montefiore and Einstein doesn't seem to make much sense. Is there anyway to completely merge the two institutions so that management becomes more efficient?

Pros

Nice academic atmosphere; conducive work environment . Post-docs are well organised. The management is now listening and trying to improve the living conditions for them.

Cons

Not much room for growth; post docs are not encouraged as much as they should be, in my opinion, though things are improving.

Pros

good superviser and lots of networking

Cons

small benefit and small chance to promotion

Pros

The university offers parking for staff. Many of the researchers are easy going and not high strung. And the salary is not bad.

Cons

Everything is bureaucratic. It takes too many steps and too much time to process the simplest of tasks. Many administrative people have held these positions for generations and must have job security as the often communicate poorly.

Advice to Senior Management

Require communication training to elder staff. Break down the bureaucracy.

Pros

Einstein is close to home , why is ideal for commuting and balances home and work life. Provides job security through the union.

Cons

Does not offer compensation for merit or opportunity for advancement in current positions. Does not offer promotions or raises.. In order to move ahead in a job, you must apply for a different position in a different pay grade.

Advice to Senior Management

Allow employees the opportunity to get raises based on merit and job performance,rather than having to apply to different positions.

Pros

Well respected institution, with many very good scientist and supportive facilites. easy commuting location, standard postdoc pay, collaborations sometimes encouraged

Cons

Very large, departments are separated with little interaction, no chance for advancement at AECOM, limited career advancement advice, lack of PI support in finding job

Advice to Senior Management

Provide inter department collaboration, provide an increased salary to attract better scientists, provide greater career advancement support for postdoc, ok

Pros

It can be a stimualting atmosphere to work in with people dedciatied to helping others. Job benefits were good and a real plus. Staff was available to answer quesitons and be helpful,

Cons

There is no room for advancement. Management was distant and there was little work recognition. Salary was relatively low as compared to other institutions.

Advice to Senior Management

Leadership needs to be more hands-on rather than distant.

Pros

Very cooperative place. Good infrastructure, in terms of the facilities and equipments.

Cons

It is in the Bronx, even tough it's a nice part of the Bronx, it is still 1.5 hours from the city.
Besides that, everything else is great.

I am satisfied with management, I think that everything works efficiently.
