Pros

Working here, you'll work with great people who are very bright. I've never experienced the same team-oriented atmosphere at any of my other jobs. I looked forward to seeing my coworkers on a daily basis.

Cons

The reason why everyone feels a sense of teamwork (described above) is because the staff feels that they are constantly working against the tides. SPS is a newer school within Columbia and the Dean's Office's goals are too ambitious, resulting in an environment where everyone is overworked. High turnover contributes to this (for four months of my year-long stint at SPS, I worked as 2 coordinators for 2 different teams AND THEN was also mandated to work the front desk during one of these months). As you can imagine, it was hard to get anything done. This environment results in lousy services to our students so I wouldn't allow any of my loved ones to work here or even attend SPS as a student.

Pros

My job with the Columbia Population Research Center is fully remote, which is a great perk. I can also create my own schedule and work any day of the week.

Cons

The pay could be better.

Pros

The work when I had it was amazing, I really appreciated it for what it gave me.

Cons

Unfortunately, with the change in management came zero transparency and rules for thee, not for me. It's led to really weird decisions.
