Pros

Plenty of opportunities to engage in substantive work. Campus draws administrative professionals who are service-oriented.

Cons

Other universities in the area offer better pay, and more opportunities for growth. No bonuses or established promotional lines for administrative staff. High turnover. During short-staffing, staff who stay are regularly asked to taken on extra duties indefinitely without proportional pay. There are more women and BIPOC people in administrative roles than there are in faculty roles.

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.
