Pros

Like the content of my work.

Cons

The manager was micromanagement, very demanding ,taking other people's credit, publishing the paper without the people that really did the job. We are severely understaffed and she would trying to push you come on the weekend to do the work. Especially, if you are postdoc, weekend is the same as week day. The manager had lost more than 5 person in 4 years, with 2 less than 6 month, 2 less than one year.

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.
