I like the new learnings but I would not really recommend for a postdoc to work here. The PIs can be very difficult to work with. It was very, very stressful. I have had a lot of verbal and emotional abuse here and the work was very repetitive. If I only can turn back time, I would have never worked here. I really think that postdocs are known as glorified slaves and PIs can use their power to abuse postdocs. Every week we have a meeting and it was not fun because it is a lot of shaming and sometimes shouting. Also, the work is very repetitive. Try to find a real job if possible and not a postdoc if you can. I actually left this place without putting my PI as my mentor because of the verbal and emotional abuse that almost led to my suicide. I am glad I am over it.

While working at OMRF, I learned that research is not a bad thing for animals, they are well cared for and consistently monitored for health and wellness and handled in the most humane way possible. A typical day for me started with a morning meeting to establish goals for the week and review prior tasks. Daily billing and medication dispensing was the norm. My supervisor was very easy to work with and very encouraging for advancment in the field of research medicine. The hardest part of the job was not being able to control the timeliness of others duties that depended on my completing my tasks. The best part of the job was the friendly co-workers and the gym access.

Innovative, progressive enjoyable place to work. My job really had no room for advancement, however, as secretary/receptionist. The pace could be extremely fast and stressful, depending upon the patient load, or could be a little more relaxed.  The patients were wonderful. The best part of the job was my co-workers and the patients, the most difficult part was being one person doing, at least, a two-person job.

I Loved going to work every day because I knew I was going to be around very intelligent and devoted people.
My Supervisor and other co-workers always had the best interest of the patients as well as our group's best interest.  She is humble and has a very caring personality.  I always felt she wanted me to succeed in business and in life.

It is a laboratory environment and PI dictates the analysis plan and always work on the same old projects. There is no opportunity to work independently, so it is hard for any growth. 
I have learned some new techniques for genetic data analysis. As the skills are very specialized in the field of genetic epidemiology, they are not very useful for clinical statistical field or others. Salary is poor and PTO is 10 days per year for employees.

Took the biostatistics and bioinformatic position, the works are very repetitive. Working on the same old projects over and over again. Publications are limited. The benefits are not better than university with low compensation.
Positions are all grant funded, they go away as grants end

While OMRF is a nice place to work, salaries are not very competitive. Management is lean and does not like to reimburse employees for overtime pay. The work environment is nice; I liked my fellow coworkers and I got along with my lab mates just fine. Again, my biggest gripe would be the low pay for the amount of work I was doing.

worked with some world renown research scientist.  I ran the lab office and was able to assist Post Doc, grad students and others in the field of Molecular immunogenetics.  Very interesting field.

I was able to work for several scientists at my own pace. 
 Handled all the office work and provided travel both domestic and international.
The most enjoyable part of the job was working independently.

Some micromanagement occurs here but everyone is really supportive and easy to work with and collaborate well. It depends on which research department you work under, but the immunology department is the largest.
