Pros

Principle investigators don't have to worry about grants, which takes some of the pressure off. Large campus filled with people doing biomedical research.

Cons

Sometimes it feels like standards in the intramural program aren't quite as high as at universities.

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.
