Great Benefits and Culture

Pros

Generous PTO, 401K match and sick leave. Culture of mutual respect emphasized with RITE values.

Cons

Pay is less compared to market rates. Not many opportunities for growth internally in the academic departments, especially in the College of Medicine. You need to wait for someone to leave or retire in order to move up. Cannot move between Penn State Health and Penn State College of Medicine without starting over and losing PTO Bank and service years.
