Pros

Collaborate with knowledgeable junior and senior scientists in an industry that has an impact on human health. Enjoy going to work. The environment is energetic and easy going. Gain skill that will help you find career opportunities in the genomics industry. Research clinical genetic studies and sometimes learn about exciting rapid developments in a variety of human disease. Work independently with a flexible schedule.

Cons

If you don't have a masters or P.H.D. (and in some cases even if you do) the very rare, longterm career opportunities tend to pay salaries that are below average for the required degree. If you only have a B.S. see this job as a paid internship (if you see it that way this is actually not a con). Though senior management is very friendly and easy going they are rarely straight forward. It is uncomfortable discuss performance reviews and compensation. There is no schedule for payroll for non-employees so you will be pleasantly surprised every 2-4 weeks!
