Pros

- Collegial working environment (in most departments) - Good benefits - Generous annual leave - Full tuition reimbursement with no strings attached (generous even by university standards) - Values-driven institution, senior leadership is generally ethical

Cons

- Pay below market standards for most staff positions (sometimes well below) - Lack of diversity among top administrators, "old boys club" culture is evident - Lack of transparency, culture of secrecy pervades the institution - Very little training given to managers so your experience is highly dependent on your individual manager - Many business processes slow and bureaucratic - woe betide you if you have a payroll issue

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.
