It was always busy and the flow was pretty consist.

We all had our separate schedules and projects to complete but was always to help each other out, if it was needed

The most enjoyable part fro was being able to teach others what I learned

definite potential
Administrative Coordinator (Former Employee), Houston, TX – January 15, 2013
I learned a lot about myself working at BCM. Management style in certain departments lack guidance, everyone seems to be overworked, leading to self training. You have to figure out things on your own (and BCM does everything their way, not a typical common sense way). Perks were learning software programs and being involved in a little of everything, – more... though that also leaves you with a lot of random skill sets. Over all, nice place to work if you want to remain in the same position as your career. – less

Baylor College of Medicine
Administrative/Project Coordinator (Former Employee), Houston, TX – December 18, 2012
Pros: medical center exposure
Cons: too many lay offs
BCM (Baylor College of Medicine) is on a slippery slope. They have had so many President changes in the last 12 years that it has become a non caring about the staff place to work. They only pay the Faculty the high dollar pay checks and they perform massive lay offs thinking that will cure their lack of funds. It only costs more to re-train personnel – more... that already have the knowledge, and you can never regain some of that knowledge and history, it leaves with the employees. I loved it there because I worked with the students closely, their bright minds always amazed me. It was a great place to work until that last President came in. – less
