Productive workplace with friendly coworkers
Lab Technician (Former Employee), Worcester, MA – March 15, 2013
Pros: friendly and helpful coworkers
My typical day began at 8:00 am before my coworkers arrived and ended around 5 pm. I began my day by completing any unfinished tasks from the previous day or any other priority tasks that my coworker had asked me to complete. I was working with a PhD student at University of Massachusetts Medical School. learned various assays and techniques from this – more... lab technician job. I have experience with performing assays and recording data from projects at school. The hardest part of the job was working with mice for the first time. Later, I learned techniques on how to handle them and it became second nature to me. The most enjoyable part of the job was that I learned something new almost everyday. – less

My job can be quite challenging at times but always a great learning environment
Clinical Research Coordinator (Current Employee), Worcester, MA – January 11, 2013
Pros: co-workers; state retirement plan; patient/family interactions/education
Cons: salary
My day starts out at the computer, updating the Neuro ICU census. From there, depending on the day I can be performing Transcranial Doppler blood flow studies on ICU patients to attending meetings. I am responsible for subject enrollment and follow up in all research studies, so can be in the ICU recruiting or on the phone conducting follow up interviews – more... with discharged subjects. I also input research related data into one of several databases, daily. I work closely with our institution's Internal Review Board to assure compliance with all ongoing research studies.

My manager/Neurointensivist is very demanding and can be quite harsh at times. My co-workers are a group of 3 MD's, all Neurointensivists. I do, however, share office space with 2 other Nurse Research Coordinators. We work for different groups, but have a great working relationship.

The hardest part of my job is enduring the berading my manager can inflict on me. But, the most enjoyable part of my job is receiving the highest of compliments, when I complete a task to her satisfaction. Also, anytime I learn something new in either the clinical or research arena is a plus for me. – less

Repetitive yet interesting

UMass Medical
Research Coordinator I (Current Employee), Worcester, MA – August 15, 2012
Pros: meaningful work
Cons: salary
The benefits you receive as an employee are good: health insurance, retirement. The salary for new researchers ensures that you will struggle. Budget cuts are an ever looming threat. Job insecurity due to shrinking budgets is not shared amongst different hierachal levels of the organization.
Management is amenable to flexibility in one's schedule. Co-workers – more... are hard working and helpful.
The best part of the job knowing your effort has a tangible and positive impact on local populations. – less

Review
Registered Nurse (Current Employee), Dept of Correction – August 5, 2012
Pros: autonomy and relative flexability
Cons: workplace dramatics and staff conflicts can be stressful
I am currently a registered nurse working for the Dept of
Corrections under UMass Medical School. It is not a job for the feint of heart, but if you can get past the rigidity of working within a correctional environment, it is actually a wonderful job, with much autonomy. You need to think quickly on your feet at times, and there is opportunity for – more... learning, but much is self-directed. You will get out of this job what you put in. Overall, I am a very satisfied employee of UMass. – less

Lianne – November 6, 2012

I am an LPN and have applied several times at both Norfolk and Bridgewater. I worked with prisoners back in the 70's at Pondville Hospital. I dont get hired even though my interviews seem to go so well. I hope being 59 is not the problem because I am healthy and strong and capable of working many more years. Just need a chance to start.

University of Mafia
Lab worker (Former Employee), Jamaica Plain, MA – June 20, 2012
Cut-throat atmosphere. Despite the public PC image, there is still an old guard conservative fascist attitude shared and indulged by Christian and Muslim employees. Gays and atheists are not welcome in the department that I worked for. Too much masonic mafia graft in the form of double standards and constitutional violations.

Typical Office
Support Staff (Current Employee), Shrewsbury, MA – May 18, 2012
Pros: casual fridays
Cons: not a paperless system
Working at the University is like any typical office.. with office politics and quarrels. working with the right people makes you want to be there if your job itself isn't satisfying.
