Pros

MGH is a welcoming and caring environment. I have come to love and admire all my coworkers. There is rarely confrontation or conflict and most people have few complaints. I've become a part of a greater community of people. I feel like I have gained so many friends and family members and truly feel blessed to have worked in such a progressive and prestige company.

Cons

MY PAY IS AWFUL. Living in Boston is not an easy feat with a good paying job. Living and food costs are very expensive. After working my behind off in college to get a Bachelor's degree in Biology, you would THINK I would be receiving at least a pay of $20/hr. Alas, no. I work two jobs to make ends meet and I'm still living paycheck to paycheck between rent and student loans. I make approx. $490 per week, sometimes less. I will leave MGH in the next couple months to move to a private company where I am paid fairly for the work I do. Out of all my roommates who all graduated with me, I am the only one who struggles to pay my bills because of my income.
