Pros

Health benefits and insurance, good place to start a career as only place which will take you without experience because they have high turnover

Cons

I have worked at ICT department of MDANDERSON, its very overwhelming stressful and badly managed , if you are good you will be given more work and there is no life work balance. Few Manager are very rude, mean and verbally abusive taking a mental troll on you. People have to quit job even without another job being lined up. Most doctors force you to enroll in the study despite of no known benefits of the study drug it’s all about money chasing from poor cancer patients , very unethical and highly unfulfilled job

Issues with PI were ignored

Pros

With all academic places, there is job stabillity and decent benefits. With MD Anderson you get some satisfaction knowing that the work you do is important and potentially life-changing for patients.

Cons

Parking is scarce and expensive. As with all academia, pay is not comensurate with title/experience/work demands. And PI's have way too much power and security. I found out that my PI had numerous complaints prior to me joining and when I made complaints about behavior (habitual, unprovoked screaming in meetings, unreasonable demands and threats of retaliation) they were ignored. Not all PI's are bad but those that create a toxic work environment should not be protected by the institution.
