Business Outlook

Pros

Friendly coworkers, thoughtful and caring management, flexibility in the workplace. I enjoyed the insurance benefits. I was also able to publish a research paper with my team. In all it was great clinical experience.

Cons

Working with MDs and PhDs sometimes means little experience with supervising others, so communication and organization was sometimes poor.
