Pros

You could make an entire career out of all the opportunities at the Clinic, job-wise. People get in and stay for their whole careers (this is a mixed bag when it comes to trying to do things differently). The Clinic is well-respected externally and will look good on your resume. If you look hard enough, there are some really fantastic people working here.

Cons

A VERY ego-driven, old-school organization. Leaders at the Clinic think they have everything they need, and are often not open to developing, changing, or admitting room for improvement. This is the most political environment I have ever worked in- people can be ruthless and often seem to be pitted against each other instead of working toward the common goal. This is not an organization that will look out for you, or make fair decisions about things like promotions and pay.

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.
