No real complaints; back gets a little stiff on days when I have more than a two-hour shift, but that's to be expected with answering phones all day.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Columbia University full-time for more than 9 years
Pros
Top experts in the field Great seminars and grand rounds
Cons
Absolute nightmare of an administration. Nobody cares and is willing to help until you've exhausted yourself in begging. So much red tape to do anything including running animal experiments. Took 6 months to get a simple IACUC protocol up and running. People are generally overworked and cold; but keep at it because they're all driven to succeed. NYSPI was designed to be a prison. You can feel your gray matter dissolving...

Fire all of management, and rehire everyone with double their salaries so that they feel appreciated and compelled to make this place run smoothly.
