Pros

Schedules are flexible and being at work leaves you plenty of time to get your homework done

Cons

But the guys who run the Student Guard Program are, in general, unhappy with being grown men in college students' jobs and have become parodies of the small-time boss; secret security checks, constant camera surveillance, and an inexplicable seriousness are now part of a job 100% of which is sitting in a chair doing nothing

Pros

Job security throughout budget cuts happening in the public health industry currently. Plenty of PTO and holiday paid leave.

Cons

Constant threats by upper management to "write us up/disciplinary action" for anything. Director is really unfair/disrespectful/condescending to our supervisor and so that trickles down to data coordinators. For example currently there is a threat that we will be "written up" if we do not meet all the competing deadlines. Ive seen sooo people many come and go in this sector over the past 3 years its insane. Its alot of data to manually enter and one must be organized /driven and on top of your game but it gets borring if your not passionate about the cancer trials you are working on.
