Months. Parental. Leave.

Cons

-For some, the course correction in directives can be a little jarring at times. (Mental flexibility is the key to growth) -Certain positions require odd hours of work -Because of the high-profile nature of the institution, internal drama and politics can spill out into the public discourse
