Pros

The kids are absolute angels, and you form strong long lasting relationships with them

Cons

I would give this place -5 stars if I could. I have PTSD from this place and will NEVER return after the way I was treated. High turn over, Medical assistants act like the mean girls in high school and will 100% talk behind your back, the manager has no idea what she’s doing and couldn’t care less about you, no matter how good at your job you are, it’s all about the politics and you will never be treated fairly. God forbid you get sick and land in the hospital, because you will get looked down upon and talked bad about if you’re sick. It’s the most toxic environment I have ever witnessed. You couldn’t pay me enough money to work there ever again. You also will never get a lunch, or any breaks. I would come home and go straight to bed because I was so burnt out. They don’t care if you don’t get breaks because you’re getting paid during them. They don’t treat you like a human at all.

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.
