Public Health Associate Fellowship Program in Fairfax, VA

Great ability to work as individual
Managers weren't overbearing, very supportive environment. Great training. Plenty of work and tools to perform.

No complaints
Good work life balance, great pay, easy going environment. Plenty opportunities for career growth. Even as a contractor I did not have any complaints.
Lead Public Health Officer/Coordinator (Contractor) in Jamaica, NY
on April 23, 2021
The pay was awesome
I loved my time working for them. The pay was great, the job was rewarding and my coworker's were the best. I worked during the Ebola outbreak in 2014
ORISE Fellow in Atlanta, GA
on April 6, 2021
Great work/life balance, insufficient learning opportunities
It's a good starting place for recent graduates to gain work experience if you don't have better offers yet. But the learning curve may not be steep enough if you want to learn a lot.
Intern in Atlanta, GA
on March 25, 2021
Pay your interns
I was a graduate student intern at the CDC and overall had a middling experience. I wasn't paid (which I know, government internship) but I would have appreciated something — literally anything, even a small stipend — because I felt undervalued and overworked.
