Pros

The commute to the hospital is great, right off the highway and you have you parking.

Cons

The starting base pay is lower than the average market value set in this industry. Negotiating with HR in the hiring process is tough and they generally will not budge. My suggestion, don't settle for less. Don't decline the offer outright if it's low, but don't accept it right away; try to always negotiate and do research of the market value for the position in your region.

Pros

Academic center. Patients are receiving most up to date care.

Cons

Company is reactive and not proactive when it comes to foreseeable issues that staff bring to administrations attention. Finance dictates everything. Patient care is not a top priority as it should be and either is retaining staff. You can only take so many years of knowing something could be so much better than it is if you had enough staff and providers to care for patients. Constantly running with the bare minimum. It wears you down. Supervisors are responsible to improve things for their team but not given the proper tools (more help) to do so.
