Pros
Most peers are wonderful Can learn a lot from this job to allow you to find a better one elsewhere
Cons
Unsafe covid policies (and forget about paid or even partially paid covid leave) when we're supposed to be setting an example as leaders in Immunology. HR gets defensive when employees voice their concerns. Many employees feel unsafe. Pay is not at all competitive and this is the number one reason turnover is so bad. Salaries are arbitrary, too, among people in the same position and employees are aware of this. Most people leave for about a 20-25% increase in salary elsewhere. Pressure to be available for overtime, changing shifts and schedules often very last minute. Disregard for employee wellbeing. We don't need an ice cream truck we need better salaries and to have our time and energy be respected. Benefits leave much to be desired. So does time off policy. Management constantly refuses to budge or listen to employees. The turnover is so bad that most people are inexperienced. Everything is disorganized. There are delays for everything. You are often set up to fail by not being given adequate resources, tools or time.
