Pros

Teams can be made up of bright, talented, nice individuals. Resources can be substantial. Good reputation in community for quality of care in clinical space. Good reputation for quality of science output.

Cons

Work environment fell short of reputation. Administration was unresponsive to abusive Research Scientist(s). As a result, culture was overall poor. Concerns raised during employee reviews were ignored/used as cause despite at-will status. Supervisor retaliated after raising concerns 1-on-1. Supervisor had unrealistic expectations, and created hostile work environment. Supervisor was dishonest. For example, approved time off, and said they would support grant submission, and then did not extending employment before honoring sign-on bonus. Facilities available to new research in the Innovation Center were sub-par. There was almost no space for new faculty to join, and this was frustrating for faculty joining the space. Leadership would host events right outside of our labs/offices, and we were instructed not to interact with them. This propagated a sense of classism that made working there during that time feel weird in addition to above.

Pros

Talented technical staff. good benefits.

Cons

They hired network administrators to be the leaders of an IT organization. The new CTO does not support his staff. He bad mouths employees behind their back as does his Director clone. The CIO should take note of how poorly his projects are being handled by the CTO and how little technology is understood by the directors. Buying your degree does not make you qualified to be a leader. The cloud sounded good till you have to use it. Poor choice by the CIO. Its obvious that leadership is trying to help entice people to quit with their recent attendance policy changes. That leads one to believe that layoffs are just on the horizon.

Pros

Excellent educational and career development opportunities

Cons

An old fashioned top heavy management structure that squeezes RNs/ CPs dry. Constantly 'out of ratio' as barely ever break relief, but you are told to tell Jaco that you do have break relief if they ever visit. Stressful environment where nurses are micromanaged and quite frankly bled dry. Hard to advocate for nursing profession here - they basically threw out the nurses decision to unionize in 2007 (taking it to court twice). This is a great place to learn and then get out before you prematurely age and look like you are 50 years old when in fact you are 30. You will feel as if you have been hit by a mack truck at the end of every day, which leaves you feeling that management do not care about their RNs/ CPs at all, only the bottom line. On the other hand, patients and doctors are treated like Gods (ironically, the more evil the patient, the better they are treated).
