Ups and downs

Business Outlook

Pros

Great co-workers and great population to work with.

Cons

Salary is low for work but that's typical in nonprofit. Feels like micromanaging. Feels limited in clinical autonomy. Review system is loaded: a 3 out of 5 is doing your job, a 4 and above is going above and beyond.
