Good management that helps you along the way.

Contract work isn’t guaranteed every year

Flexible environment Supportive mentors Lots of learning opportunities

First year pay No other cons :)

increase in stipend yearly innovative and complex projects

overall stipend is low for the first year especially the area is expensive so increasing the stipend to accommodate for that would be better some PIs seem to overwork interns more than 40 hours.

Great benefits and PTO after your first year

Slow career growth to begin with

great gap year experience, cutting-edge research

the quality of your experience is completely lab dependent

Flexible work but depends on the lab Have unionized this year Salaries were increased this year

No retirement Taxs are difficult for postdoc Salary still low compared to the field
