Pros

I worked as postdoctoral fellow here. I enjoyed the relaxing life around the campus. You don't feel much pressure everydy.

Cons

The bureaucracy makes resarch really hard. It take forever to process any paperwork. The university isn't very supportive on your research. Not recommended if you really want to achieve something.

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.
