Pros

You might make a friend? You will understand what working for a bad company means.

Cons

Extreme burnout. No work-life balance. Extreme politics. Work effort means little unless you know how to play the politics. Low pay compared to other companies. Mediocre benefits. Very focused on appearance. Your clothing choices matter ($200 outfit v. $50 outfit). Your car choices matter (BMW/Audi v. Honda). You physical appearance matters (thin v. overweight). Very micromanaged. Inappropriate manager-employee relationships. Very "stuck-up" culture. Feels like high school. Introverts will never get promoted. Don't get sick. You will still be expected to work. If you do get sick, it better be terminal. Management through humiliation. Feedback often tears you down more than it builds you up.

Pros

The individual contributors you work with are fantastic people and the products we work on are really interesting and have significant impacts on patient care.

Cons

Sports Medicine has unfortunately changed from a dynamic and collaborative group to one being led by toxic leadership. Rather than working together and trusting team members, they now have an in group and out group. If you’re in the in group, you can say anything you want without being questioned and be automatically trusted even when your track record says otherwise. If you’re in the out group and your message doesn’t align with what the leadership wants to hear, then you are automatically wrong and not to be trusted.
