    Great Working Environment

    May 11, 2023 - Radiation Safety Officer in Raleigh, NC
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Working as a safety professional in an academic environment is intellectually stimulating and rewarding. Interacting with and supporting PI's performing research at the cutting edge of their respective disciplines pushes the limits of your knowledge and fosters growth. I find that the diversity of the campus population academically, ethnically, internationally, racially, and spiritually, has fostered my understanding, acceptance and connection with people different yet not so different from me and offered additional opportunities for personal growth. In addition, the benefits of working on an academic campus include an employee degree program and access to all of the excellent library and recreation facilities.

    Cons

    Very few downsides. Wage growth may not always keep up with industry, but the shakeup caused by COVID has moved the needle in better aligning compensation in order to stay competitive in hiring.
