Pros

Freedom of work and freedom of thoughts. Lots of NIH funding - one of the best in the USA in terms of research funding. Have defined career paths for the postdocs to research associateship, stuff scientist or even to assistant stuff position. Lots of internal reward program for good science. In short one of the best place to do post doctoral work. As a city Cleveland is very much affordable. The job also comes with exceptional benefit package. One of the best health insurance coverage in one of the nations topmost health system.

Cons

Its more patient oriented so the main focus is not in basic science science research. However its exceptional in translational research.

Pros

Health insurance and maternity benefits are great, though some people have been aggravated by the addition of a deductible in 2026. There is also decent tuition reimbursement, but you need to carefully read all of the policies as the wording can be tricky and even HR doesn't understand all of their own policies.

Cons

Pay seems inconsistent and raises are a joke, getting lower and later every year. PTO is decent but keep in mind that getting paid for holidays comes from that PTO and plan accordingly. HR is a complete JOKE! They never answer, don't seem to understand any of their policies, and have no idea what they are doing. It takes weeks to get ahold of anyone, and they are the farthest from helpful I've ever experienced. Retirement matching is based on years of service, they will put the money in the account but only vest after 3 years so don't count on the amount it shows unless you know 100% for sure you will be there more than 3 years.
