Pros

Offers really good benefits. Holiday schedule is good. This is a good place to start fresh out of school and get experience. Flexible schedule.

Cons

A lot of politics. no room for growth. low salaries. Would not recommend staying here for more than 1 year. Unless you are planning on staying in academics there is nothing that will be good enough. A bunch of professors covering each other's backs.

Pros

Respect between colleagues and bosses

Cons

The pay is not very competitive, but it is only a student research assistant position and is more about the experience

Pros

Positive professional work environment, Good benefit- vacation, retirement

Cons

Low pay in comparison to market. For coordinator- very slow growth. Heavy work load- plus all other department dump extra work on coordinator. Only for employee medical benefit is good but if you add family its same like all other employer. Long provisional period- 6 months. Has to use your own logistic- laptop, phone, no compensation for phone bills or laptop damages. Has to pay for parking $2-300 per month, still difficult to get parking and it takes 10- 20 minutes from parking to start work in the office No overtime , NO BONUS.
