Pros

Trauma is a rush. It's great to work with people who really need the care and are getting it without a runaround. The providers are top notch and truly are invested in doing their best work. Being around teaching all the time means you are learning all the time, which is a huge plus for me. And there is a very collegial attitude there, leading to unparalleled teamwork and lasting friendships.

Cons

Chronically understaffed. Top management is distant and politically driven. There are 5 managing groups: the hospital, the county, the university, the city and the state. With that many chefs, the sauce will never get cooked, and if it does, the seasoning is bound to be off. Nepotism is rife.
