Current Employee – been working at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Amazing learning experiences in the world of cancer research and treatment. As a nurse there are a lot of different opportunities to grow. Pay and benefits are good, depending on your department. You can accrue a large amount of vacation time the longer you are employed. There is a lot of effort to provide a good work/life balance. There is currently a large full-service exercise/work out area in one of the buildings.

Cons – Everything depends on how your department is managed. Some people have lost their jobs due ot poor management and budget cuts. The environment is very political as is most academic institutions. As mentioned above, the benefits are good, but most have difficutly taking their vacation time. I am leaving my position because of micromanagement and the difficulty getting time off approved. This is because of my department director's managment style. There is no other position in MD Anderson with my title and pay scale.

Advice to Senior Management – Be in touch with your employees if yo don't want to lose the good ones.
