Pros

The pay was okay for entry level at the time

Cons

There was no training but you were punished for not doing your job correctly. It took almost a year of me being there when I was finally being offered training due to the chaotic nature of the company. My coworkers were all overworked, stressed and unfriendly, I was so happy to finally be able to leave

Pros

They pay my salary on time.

Cons

-They are run like grad school. They have you compete against your co-workers for funding, they consider rules and laws as simple impediments to be overcome by capricious edicts, they will treat you like a rented mule if you let them. I have come to the conclusion that senior management cares very little about work conditions or employees, only about the bottom line. This experience has significantly changed my opinion of not-for-profit companies. If you are a researcher looking for an open and collaborative environment with shared goals, I suggest you look elsewhere.
