Pros

- working with brilliant and passionate medical professionals - reasonably flexible working environment when you need to plan for appointments - communicative and open c-suite team

Cons

- parking: you aren't able to park on campus. You must park off-site then take a shuttle to work every day. This easily adds 10-15 minutes to your commute each way. - no career growth opportunities for admin
