Pros

Smart people, cool as hell work

Cons

You get paper worked to death and getting anything done is a slow bureaucratic slog. Sexism by senior management keeps women from advancing as much and as fast as men.

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.
