Pros

I couldn't really think of any other than I guess experience.

Cons

They prefer to give too much work to one or two people and blame them all the time than to hire extra help. Very few people are happy and the only ones that maybe are the higher-ups who are making the actual money. They treat the rest of us as if we are dirt while we do a significant amount of work that are real assets to the entire hospital.

Pros

I work at the Office of Alumni and Development and our department is very collaborative, flexible, and fair.

Cons

The benefits related to 401(b), etc. could be a little bit better, but are competitive.
