Pros

Great benefits, access to abundant resources, union, free classes for career growth, decent on-campus food, coffee galore, and looks good on the resume.

Cons

Disorganized, concerned about branding vs. employees and true patient care, too big for its own good, high turnover, bureaucracy at it's finest, dysfunctional, and incapable of keeping brilliant, innovative people due to institutional, catty politics.

Pros

Outstanding mission-driven organization with exceptionally talented, collaborative colleagues. I had the opportunity to work on cutting-edge ophthalmology clinical trials with multidisciplinary teams who genuinely cared about advancing patient care. The work was intellectually stimulating, there were many opportunities to learn, and I appreciated the culture of scientific curiosity and collaboration within the Casey Eye Institute.

Cons

Like many academic medical centers, organizational priorities can shift quickly with changes in funding. Decision-making can be slow, communication during organizational changes could be improved, and career advancement opportunities may be limited outside of traditional academic pathways. Funding uncertainty can affect long-term job stability for research staff.
