Pros

Tulane was a great place to work. I enjoyed my 18+ years there.

Cons

Tulane doesn't like to compensate there present employees when they apply for other jobs within Tulane. I was an employee for over 18 yrs and applied for a opportunity within Tulane. They contacted me to inform me that I was the person they wanted for the job, but then they informed me of my new salary and was insulted. They wanted to give me pennies and increase my workload significantly. After I turned down the job they then hired a person outside of Tulane for more then double my salary with the same qualifications. How do you expect to keep employees when you do stuff like this.

Pros

Flexible work schedule (if in the right lab, not guaranteed) Really great coworkers. You can generally learn anything you show an interest in or need in other MRS in the center. We all tend to stick together. Additional paid leave through winter break on top of generous amount of PTO. Tuition waiver to Tulane

Cons

Truly falling apart, both physically and systemically. Physically the place is a disaster and borderline unsafe. Im surprised OSHA hasn't been called due to instances of unknown chemical inhalation, people autoclaving things they shouldn't, high CO2 levels with no functioning alarm. Not only that but the water quality is wildly unreliable. Systemically, you are underpaid and overworked, not appreciated and chronically strung along by a dangled carrot. You can out perform everyone on the team and be passed over for promotions because of a million different excuses. By design you are shoved down until you stop hoping for better. Management all around sucks because for many the only way to move up or forward is to go into management. These are Scientist that are just shoved into management roles and told to do their best. Everyone suffers for this. They have no training, and despite being good people, tend to completely mismanage teams until only the favored are left. This is true for the lowest managers but all the way to the top.
