Pros

You get to work with some of the best doctors in their field. There is a very diverse workforce and the institution as a whole employs personnel with years of experience and who are resourceful.

Cons

A majority of the administrative support or clerical positions in research operations are dual or even triple assignments. Most have a very large workload that is usually spread out amongst departments for the same position at a pharma company or CRO.

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
