      Complete mismanagement

      Pros

      There aren't any. You can follow any of your career ambitions at an institution that will compensate you relative to your merit. MGH believes that they can pay uncompetitive salaries because their name brand has cache. The average salary increase each year is from 1-3%. Inflation is 1.7% If you want talented people, you need to compensate them.

      Cons

      Giving millions of dollars to PI's with no finance, leadership or managerial training is a recipe for disaster. Total exploitation of human resources and scientific effort to develop their own careers, with no formal mentorship program to develop young scientists at all.

      Pros

      Job security - always a job in healthcare! Good benefits, large hospital with access to great healthcare.

      Cons

      There is no real career ladder. If you want a promotion, you have to wait for the person above you to leave, transfer or die. Unfortunately people tend to stay for a very long time. Everyone gets the same "merit" raise every year - it doesn't matter if you do your job or not. Earned time is a joke. You take all of your holidays out of your earned time.
