Pros

Good benefits and access to loads of great research

Cons

The administrative side of the research is led by an older demographic who are set in older, less efficient methods. The systems in place are incredibly antiquated and the culture is stagnant which means a lot of unnecessary busy work.

Pros

Working with the some of the smartest scientists and clinicians in the world. So many learning opportunities. Kind patients. Allowed time to care for patients as there is no pressure of quotas by health insurance.

Cons

Nursing management can be verbally abusive with frequent retaliation and intimidation. As most older nurses have worked there for most of their career, they are dismissive of new perspectives and resistant to evidence-based practice.
