Pros
Opportunities to learn a lot in a short amount of time, lots of local collaborations and community engagement, networking with senior researchers and providers, career development opportunities.
Cons
A lot of office politics, I find people can be very passive aggressive when conflict or misalignment happens, role responsibilities are not clearly defined, can be difficult to secure a promotion, low pay, lots of oversight, teams can be overwhelmed because they are over staffed, I didn’t receive formal training on a lot of things, management need to be trained on team leadership, high turnover, a lot of burnout, lack of employee advocacy from management, expectations can be subjective leading to a lot of confusion.
