Pros

Manager has been great and made this transition

Cons

The recruiter was very rude and stated that I could not make more than a person who has a degree and I stated that I been this field for over 25 and been at Johns Hopkins since 2001 and to come to this job and the people are so unprofessional, rude and no compassion nor empathy. I should have known then that this was not a good fit for me, but I needed a job so that's why I took this job then to have to pay for parking because the shuttle did not arrive on time, so I had to pay now for parking .
