        Business Outlook

        Pros

        Here you work for a LARGE healthcare organization who hires majority of employees as pier diem so they don't have to offer you healthcare insurance benefits. They automatically take 7.5% from your payheck for pension. AND no one tells you at the orientation that YOU DO NOT NEED TO GIVE THE UNION 2% OF YOUR PAY !! If it is a union position, you will represented by the union. Under U.S. Supreme Court ruling Janus v. AFSCME, public employees can no longer be required to pay union dues or fees as a condition of employment. If you DID sign the unions membership form, good luck trying to stop them from deducting 2% from your paycheck! AFSCME deceives employees into signing membership forms (which they never provide a copy to you) with fine print waiving their right to resign except during a short annual window period.

        Cons

        You can convert to a career position without the unions help by filling out a form on the UCSD website after you are an employee for a year and have worked 1000 hours.

          Pros

          Large academic center with immense resources. The clinical trials office provides an opportunity for really rewarding work. The job is very stable and and has really good benefits.

          Cons

          There is very little room for growth within the clinical trials department. The pay is good for entry level positions but not competitive as you grow in your career.

                        I’ve been working here for about a year, I don’t have any cons so far!

                      Do you experience that how long the hiring process would take at Thermo Fisher? I got my second interview with hiring manager at the beginning of November but I haven’t heard nothing from them. When I’ve emailed them to check in they just said that the process would be slow, no time frame. I would be able to get an offer soon from other company but work as contractor. Should I wait for Thermo Fisher?

                      Booz Allen Hamilton Recently applied and I've been referred for an interview! Any tips on interviewing with Booz Allen? And if I am being asked to complete clearance and background upfront, is this a good indicator for being hired?

                      Alex L.

                      Applied for a job a few weeks back, got a call from HR yesterday morning about an interview next week. She mentioned she'd shoot me an email with all the interview details, but so far, my inbox is empty. Assuming I'll hear from her early next week, is it normal for them to expect me to show up for an in-person interview on short notice, like couple days?
