Pros
Extremely interesting patients from all the world, beautiful facilities, state of the art everything, unbelievable new hospital, total integration between outpatient and inpatient services, and great use of technology. Great salary with defined pension benefit. Generous health benefits that can be used at any Mayo site. Strong support for professional development. You feel like you are part of something special when working at Mayo.
Cons
Work/life balance issues can be tough. Many of patients referred to Mayo have very complicated problems and figuring out the best way to manage them can weigh you down a bit depending on your personality. We also tend to attract some very demanding patients with completely unrealistic expectations. Most decisions go through a committee system that is slow, although new efforts are underway to streamline.
