Pros

The health insurance is great and the whole family is covered at company expense. The on-site daycare center is wonderful, if pricey (over $1200/month/child). Actual staff members (versus research fellows) get a childcare subsidy to offset the cost.

Cons

Budget politics are hairy and mandatory furloughs occasionally occur.

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.
