Pros

Each center varies dramatically in corporate culture. So in a sense you can find a place to work within the organization that fits a wide range or working styles and cultures.

Cons

There's a weird cultural rift between academic jobs and admin/staff jobs. Not sure how prevalent this is within academia overall. Also, benefits are not impressive . . .

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.
