Pros

- Potential to build a great network at Aspen events/colloquia/seminars - Great learning opportunities as you go (there's no one holding your hand, which is fantastic if you like that kind of independence) - My direct boss is a decent human being, so she's understanding when I have to take a day off for personal reasons - Free food all the time

Cons

- Upper management doesn't seem to care at all about young professionals - Lack of professional development and training opportunities - Medical insurance is lousy, to say the least - Aspen moves to the tune of its funders: they say open a new program, Aspen complies (even if it just strengthens the divisions already in place)
