It's a great school, but they do screw over their staff. The pay for researchers are insultingly low, and the raises are even more insultingly low. Employees that are let go due to cutbacks when try to get another job here, they make sure they're not paid even a dime more, even though by now they're more experienced. So if you're stuck at this place due to some personal and life issues, rest assured, you will be living below poverty line, even with an advanced degree and significant experience. HR is no help, and the big guy always wins. But they really need to treat their employees better, they are doing amazing work and contributing to society and you treat them as they'd be better off working as day laborers.
