“People take vacation-- a lot of autonomy on when to take them!”

Tuition benefits was the best thing!

Medical benefits are excellent. United is a nation-wide network. COBRA is too expensive.

I have health insurance but since I'm a post-doc then I don't really get other things like 401k or retirement. I don't have too many options for health care (really only one choice).

The benefits are average and you pay out of pockets costs so be mindful

No real benefits package, basic insurance

Terrible health insurance plan.

Health insurance is high for Postdoc.

For an institution that has its own Medical Center, Columbia could do better for their employees and provide all-inclusive health insurance (including mental, dental, vision), instead of the minimum they could get away with.
